Which type of multicast tree is used exclusively in the Source-Specific Multicast (SSM) model?

Shared tree rooted at a Rendezvous Point

Shortest-path tree rooted at the source

Core-based tree rooted at a designated router

Bidirectional tree with multiple roots

A network engineer is deploying SSM for a stock ticker service. The receivers are connected to a switch that currently runs IGMPv2. The engineer wants to ensure receivers can join the SSM group. What must be done?

Configure a static multicast route on the switch

Enable IGMPv2 with SSM mapping on the switch

Disable IGMP on the switch and use static joins

Upgrade the switch to IGMPv3 on the receiver-facing interfaces

In PIM sparse mode (PIM-SM) for ASM, what is the role of the Rendezvous Point (RP)?

To act as the root of the shared tree and facilitate source discovery

To translate multicast group addresses into unicast addresses

To filter multicast traffic based on source addresses

To forward all multicast traffic directly from sources to receivers without a shared tree

ASM vs. SSM JN0-664 Practice Questions (Page 2)

Part of the IP Multicast domain, which makes up ~18% of our current practice bank. Juniper Networks does not publish an official question count, but from its 90-minute exam (~35–60 total, ~6–11 in this domain), expect 1–1 from this objective — we provide 25 practice questions to prepare you well beyond it.
