Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

An MTI is the inbound/outbound interface of a multicast tunnel and also functions as the inbound/outbound interfaces of the MD. A local PE sends VPN data through the MTI, and the remote PE receives data from the MTI. The MTI is the tunnel for data exchange between the public network instance and the VPN instance on the PE. A PE connects to the MT through the MTI. The VPN instances on PEs in the MD establish PIM neighbor relationships with each other on the MTI.

When you run the multicast-domain share-group binding command, the MTI is automatically created. You can run the interface mtunnel command to enter the MTI view and configure MTI parameters

Prerequisites

The MIT has been automatically created after the multicast-domain share-group binding command is executed to configure a Share-Group for a VPN instance and bind the Share-Group to the MTI.

Example

# Enter the view of MTunnel interface 10, which has been automatically created.
