Configuring BGP MVPN Peer Relationships

You need to configure BGP MVPN peer relationships between PEs in the same MVPN so that the PEs can use BGP to exchange BGP A-D and BGP C-multicast routes.

Context

To exchange BGP A-D and BGP C-multicast routes, different PEs on an MVPN must be able to discover other PEs on the MVPN. The discovery process is called MVPN membership auto discovery (AD). NG MVPN over BIER uses BGP to implement this process. To support MVPN membership auto discovery, BGP defines a new BGP-MVPN address family.

PEs are classified as sender PEs or receiver PEs in NG MVPN over BIER. To transmit multicast traffic from multicast sources to multicast receivers, sender PEs must establish BGP MVPN peer relationships with receiver PEs.

Procedure

  1. Run system-view

    The system view is displayed.

  2. Run bgp as-number

    The BGP view is displayed.

  3. Run ipv4-family mvpn

    The BGP-MVPN address family view is displayed.

  4. Run peer ipv4-address enable

    The BGP MVPN peer relationship is enabled.

  5. Run commit

    The configuration is committed.
