Configuring Routing Instances for an MBGP MVPN
To configure MBGP MVPNs, include the mvpn statement:
mvpn {mvpn-mode (rpt-spt | spt-only);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 <files number> <size size> <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 an MBGP MVPN 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 MBGP MVPN, you must configure MPLS LSPs (either RSVP-signaled or LDP-signaled) between the PE routers of the routing instance to ensure VPN unicast connectivity. Point-to-multipoint (P2MP) LSPs are used for multicast data forwarding only. |
