SSM:

When LISTENER1 is configured with "ip igmp join-group 230.0.0.1" it joins the *,230.0.0.1 group. This is not source specific which is why both SOURCE1 and SOURCE2 receive replies to their ICMP echo requests (LISTENER1 is receiving both multicast IP streams, the ICMP echo requests). To implement SSM the global configuration command "ip pim ssm default" must be added to PE1, RP1, PE2 and LISTENER1. "ip igmp version 3" must be applied to fa0/0 on PE2 and LISTENER1 and then the IGMP join command on LISTENER1 under fa0/0 must be replaced with "ip igmp join-group 232.0.0.1 source 10.0.12.2". IGMPv2 doesn't support SSM join requests and SSM isn't enabled by default on IOS.

Now that SSM is configured SOURCE1 and SOURCE2 must ping a different multicast group address, something inside 232.0.0.0/8 which is the reserved SSM range by RFC4607. LISTENER1 will now only respond to the ICMP echo requests coming from 10.0.12.2 (SOURCE2):
