Configuring the Multicast VPN Routing Instance

To configure multicast VPNs, include the mvpn statement:




mvpn {
receiver-site;


route-target {


export-target {
target target-community;
unicast;
}




import-target {


target {

target-value;
receiver target-value;
sender target-value;
}




unicast {
receiver;
sender;
}


}


}


sender-site;


traceoptions {
file filename <replace> <size size> <files number> <no-stamp>
(<world-readable> | <no-world-readable>);
flag flag <flag-modifier> <disable>;
}


}

You can include this statement at the following hierarchy levels:

[edit routing-instances routing-instance-name protocols]
[edit logical-systems logical-system-name routing-instances routing-instance-name protocols]

By default a multicast VPN routing instance is associated with both the multicast sender and the receiver sites. If you configure the receiver-site option, the routing instance is associated with only multicast receiver sites. Configuring the sender-site option associates the routing instance with only multicast sender sites.

Note: When you configure the routing instance for the multicast VPN, you must configure MPLS LSPs (either RSVP-signaled or LDP-signaled) between the PE routers of the routing instance to ensure VPN unicast connectivity. P2MP LSPs are used for multicast data forwarding only.
