Configuring Multicast Traffic Transmission over P2MP Tunnels

mLDP in-band MVPN uses mLDP P2MP tunnels to carry multicast traffic.

Procedure

  • Perform the following steps on a receiver PE:
    1. Run the system-view command to enter the system view.
    2. (Optional) Run the multicast mvpn mvpn-id command to configure an MVPN ID.
    3. Run the ip vpn-instance vpn-instance-name command to enter the VPN instance view.
    4. Run the ipv4-family command to enter the VPN instance IPv4 address family view.
    5. Run the route-distinguisher route-distinguisher command to configure an RD for the VPN instance IPv4 address family.
    6. Run the vpn-target vpn-target both command to associate the current instance with VPN targets.
    7. Run the multicast routing-enable command to enable multicast routing for the VPN instance IPv4 address family.
    8. Run the multicast inband-signaling mldp command to enable mLDP in-band MVPN.
    9. Run the commit command to commit the configuration.
  • Perform the following steps on a PE to be configured as a sender PE:
    1. Run the system-view command to enter the system view.
    2. (Optional) Run the multicast mvpn mvpn-id command to configure an MVPN ID.
    3. Run the ip vpn-instance vpn-instance-name command to enter the VPN instance view.
    4. Run the ipv4-family command to enter the VPN instance IPv4 address family view.
    5. Run the route-distinguisher route-distinguisher command to configure an RD for the VPN instance IPv4 address family.
    6. Run the vpn-target vpn-target both command to associate the current instance with VPN targets.
    7. Run the multicast routing-enable command to enable multicast routing for the VPN instance IPv4 address family.
    8. (Optional) Run the multicast bgp-connector compatible command to enable Connector attribute compatibility.
    9. Run the multicast inband-signaling mldp [ frr ] command to enable mLDP in-band MVPN and dual-root protection.
    10. Run the commit command to commit the configuration.
