Directing Multicast Traffic into a P2MP TE Tunnel

Multicast data traffic can be correctly forwarded over a point-to-multipoint (P2MP) traffic engineering (TE) tunnel only after being directed into the P2MP TE tunnel.

Context

When a P2MP TE tunnel is used to carry multicast services, you do not need to deploy the Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) on the transit nodes of the tunnel. As a result, you must direct multicast traffic on a P2MP tunnel interface of the ingress on the P2MP TE tunnel into the P2MP TE tunnel.

Procedure

Run system-view
The system view is displayed.
Run interface tunnel tunnel-number
The tunnel interface view is displayed.
Run igmp static-group group-address [ inc-step-mask { group-mask | group-mask-length } number group-number ] [ source source-address ]
The interface is configured to statically join an IGMP group.
Run commit
The configuration is committed.
