Creating a Routing Instance for a Multiprotocol BGP-Based Multicast VPN
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. |
