PIM misc - dense mode reqd in sparse-dense region

Suppose the lab required one Mcast range ONLY operate in dense mode, whereas the rest of the domain should operate in sparse mode???

This can be achieved by making use of the 'deny' statement in the ACL used to denote the mcast groups serviced by the candidate RP.

SW3#s access-list 11
Standard IP access list 11
40 deny 224.50.50.50
20 permit 232.0.0.0, wildcard bits 7.255.255.255
30 permit 224.0.0.0, wildcard bits 15.255.255.255

When examining the rp mapping then the 'denied' range will be shown with a minus
