By default a multiprotocol BGP-based multicast VPN routing instance attaches to both sender and receiver sites. You can also manually configure the instance to attach to only sender or only receiver sites.
To create a multicast VPN routing instance, include the mvpn statement at the [edit routing-instances routing-instance name protocols] hierarchy level:
- [edit]
- routing-instances {
-
- vpn-a {
- instance-type vrf;
-
- protocols {
-
- mvpn { # Enables BGP/MPLS multicast VPN configuration.
- }
- }
- }
- }

Note: You cannot configure PIM within a nonforwarding instance. If you try to do so, the router displays a commit check error and does not complete the configuration commit process. |
