Configure IP Multicast over Fabric Connect on a VLAN for Layer 3

Before you begin

  • Configure the required SPBM and IS-IS infrastructure, which includes the creation of SPBM B-VLANs.

  • Configure a VRF and an IP VPN instance with an I-SID configured under it on the switch. The IP VPN does not need to be enabled for Layer 3 VSN multicast to function.

  • Enable IP Multicast over Fabric Connect globally.

  • If there is no IP interface on the VLAN, then you create one. (The IP interface must be in the same subnet as the IGMP hosts that connect to the VLAN).

  • Enable MVPN for the particular VRF.

About this task

Use this procedure to enable IP Multicast over Fabric Connect for a Layer 3 VSN. The default is disabled.

You must configure VLANs to turn on the service on each VLAN within the VRF on which the service is required. You can turn it on under the VLAN context or the brouter context.

You cannot enable IP PIM when IP Multicast over Fabric Connect is enabled on the VLAN.

The switch only supports IPv4 address with IP Multicast over Fabric Connect.

To configure a VLAN for IP Shortcuts with IP Multicast over Fabric Connect, see Configure IP Multicast over Fabric Connect on a VLAN Within the GRT.
