Example: Configuring PIM SSM on a Network
The following example shows how PIM SSM is configured between a receiver and a source in the network illustrated in Figure 1.
Figure 1: Network on Which to Configure PIM SSM

This example configures the IGMP version to IGMPv3 on all receiving host interfaces.
- Enable IGMPv3 on all host-facing interfaces and
disable IGMP on the fxp0.0 interface on Router 1.user@router1# set protocols igmp interface all version 3user@router1# set protocols igmp interface fxp0.0 disable

Note: When you configure IGMPv3 on a router, hosts on interfaces configured with IGMPv2 cannot join the source tree.
- After the configuration is committed, use the show configuration protocol igmp command to verify the IGMP
protocol configuration.user@router1> show configuration protocol igmp[edit protocols igmp]interface all {version 3;}interface fxp0.0 {disable;}
- Use the show igmp interface command
to verify that IGMP interfaces are configured and that the fxp0.0 interface has IGMP disabled.

to verify the PIM join state on Router 2 and Router 3 (the
upstream routers).
