  • RPT-SPT mode support for PE routers connected directly to sources and receivers (ACX7024, ACX7100-32C, ACX7100-48L, ACX7332, ACX7348, and ACX7509)—You can configure rendezvous-point tree–shortest-path tree (RPT-SPT) mode with sources and receivers directly connected to the PE router, without the need for a CE router. To enable this feature, configure the sg-forwarding-only statement on the PE routers under the edit routing-instances <routing-instance-name> protocols mvpn mvpn-mode rpt-spt hierarchy.

    This configuration ensures that the (*, G) forwarding entries are not installed on the PE router.

    It is recommended to add this configuration statement to all Junos OS Evolved-based ACX PE devices that are part of the deployment, instead of configuring only the PE device that is connected directly to a source or receiver.

  • MVPN bud node support with Looping back interface (LBI) ( ACX7024, ACX7024X, ACX7100-32C, ACX7100-48L, ACX7332, ACX7348, and ACX7509)— You can terminate multicast virtual private network (MVPN) traffic to the correct routing instance in a bud node by using the Looping back interface (LBI). On detection of this interface, MVPN P2MP multipoint LDP modules install a newly labelled route, where the next hop is updated to include the LBI and an additional branch to the next egress PE router. The LBI is created automatically on boot up and needs no configuration.
