Sami,

The most likely solution would be BSR, bootstrap router. It is similar to
Auto-RP, but instead of being a Cisco add-on protocol, it is built into PIM
version 2. Both Auto-RP and BSR have routers that are willing to be
rendezvous points (candidate RPs), and routers that collect and announce RP
information ("mapping agents" in Auto-RP, BSRs in the PIM standard).

Here are the necessary commands:

To configure candidate bsr: ip pim bsr-candidate loop0 [priority].

To configure candidate rp: ip pim rp-candidate loop0 [bidir] [group-list Y]
[priority Z].

Here is a link for more info:

  Subject: Using Anycast RP

  I am working on a practise lab which doesn't have answers. The multicast
section is asking to make sure a specific router in the domain to be the RP,
under the condition that I do not manually configure a static rp or auto-rp.

    I wonder in this case, if MSDP is a valid solution.

    Your input is appreciated.
