Configuring Data MDTs and Provider Tunnels

To configure data multicast distribution trees (MDTs), include the mdt statement:

mdt {
group-range multicast-prefix;
threshold {
group group-address {
source source-address {
rate threshold-rate;
}
}
}
tunnel-limit limit;
}

You can include the statement at the following hierarchy levels:

Data MDTs configured at the [edit routing-instances routing-instance-name provider-tunnel] hierarchy level support service provider tunnels operating in source-specific multicast mode. Data MDTs configured at the [edit routing-instances routing-instance-name protocols pim] hierarchy level support service provider tunnels operating in any-source multicast mode.

For an overview of routing instances and a detailed example of routing instance configuration, see the Multicast over Layer 3 VPNs chapter of the JUNOS Feature Guide.

By default, automatic creation of data MDTs is disabled.

This section describes the following tasks for configuring data MDTs:

Data MDTs require a correctly configured Layer 3 VPN for multicast. For more information about configuring Layer 3 VPNs for multicast, see Configuring Any-Source Multicast for Draft-Rosen VPNs.
