NOTE:
A VPN uniquely corresponds to an MD and an MD provides services for only one VPN, which is
called a one-to-one relationship. Such a relationship exists between VPN, MD, MTI, default-group,
and the data-group range.
PIM neighboring relationships in MD VPN
Figure 51 PIM neighboring relationships in MD VPN
PIM neighboring relationships are established between two or more directly interconnected devices
on the same subnet. As shown in
exist in MD VPN:
•
PE-P PIM neighboring relationship—Established between the public network interface on a
PE device and the peer interface on the P device over the link.
•
PE-PE PIM neighboring relationship—Established between PE devices that are in the same
VPN instance after they receive the PIM hello packets.
•
PE-CE PIM neighboring relationship—Established between a PE interface that is bound with
the VPN instance and the peer interface on the CE device over the link.
