Configuring BGP MVPN Peers

Establish a BGP MVPN peer relationship between devices belonging to the same MVPN, so that the devices 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). An NG MVPN uses BGP to implement this process. To support MVPN membership autodiscovery, BGP defines a new BGP-MVPN address family.

On an NG MVPN, a PE can be either a sender or receiver PE. To transmit multicast traffic from multicast sources to multicast receivers, sender PEs must establish BGP MVPN peer relationships with receiver PEs.

Perform the following steps on PEs, ABRs, and ASBRs.

Procedure

  1. Run system-view

    The system view is displayed.

  2. Run bgp { as-number-plain | as-number-dot }

    The BGP view is displayed.

  3. Run ipv4-family mvpn

    The BGP-MVPN address family view is displayed.

  4. (On PEs) Run policy vpn-target

    The VPN-Target filter function is enabled.

  5. Run peer { ipv4-address | group-name } enable

    The device is specified as a BGP MVPN peer.

  6. Run commit

    The configuration is committed.
