  • 5. 

    How does SSM differ from PIM-SM ASM? (Check all that apply)

    • A.

      Reduces the risk of a Captain Midnight group hijacking

      Does not require an RP or shared tree

    • C.

      Provides a method to request a well known source vs. any source

    • D.

      Allows reuse of group addresses and increases the available multicast address space by enabling multiple sources to use the same group address (overlapping group address) for different content

    Correct Answer(s)

    Correct Answer
    D. EIGRP
    Explanation
    The answer is always EIGRP. What was the question again? ;)

    They can use anything they want. PIM will uses the unicast routing table generated by the IGP for the RPF check
