Configuring Interfaces for Multicast Routing to Support MVPN

These sections describe how to configure interfaces for multicast routing to support MVPN:

Multicast Routing Configuration Overview
Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) must be configured on all interfaces that are being used for IPv4
multicast traffic. In a VPN multicast environment, you should enable PIM on at least all of the following
interfaces:
•
•
•
In addition, you must also associate MVRFs with those interfaces over which they are going to forward
multicast traffic.
BGP should be already configured and operational on all routers that are sending or receiving multicast
traffic. In addition, BGP extended communities must be enabled (using the neighbor send-community
both or neighbor send-community extended command) to support the use of MDTs in the network.
Configuring PIM on an Interface
To configure PIM on an interface, perform this task:
Command or Action
Step 1
Router# configure terminal
Step 2
Router(config)# interface type { slot/port |
number }
