Syntax

Description

Specify the name of the static point-to-multipoint (P2MP) LSP used for a specific MBGP MVPN; static P2MP LSP cannot be shared by multiple VPNs. Use this statement to specify the static LSP for both inclusive and selective point-to-multipoint LSPs.

Use a static P2MP LSP when you know all the egress PE router endpoints (receiver nodes) and you want to avoid the setup delay incurred by dynamically created P2MP LSPs (configured with the label-switched-path-template). These static LSPs are signaled before the MVPN requires or uses them, consequently avoiding any signaling latency and minimizing traffic loss due to latency.

If you add new endpoints after the static P2MP LSP is established, you must update the configuration on the ingress PE router. In contrast, a dynamic P2MP LSP learns new endpoints without any configuration changes.

Best Practice:

Multiple multicast flows can share the same static P2MP LSP; this is the preferred configuration when the set of egress PE router endpoints on the LSP are all interested in the same set of multicast flows. When the set of relevant flows is different between endpoints, we recommend that you create a new static P2MP LSP to associate endpoints with flows of interest.
