Configure the VRF Timeout To Age Out a Multicast Sender

Before you begin

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

  • Create the C-VLANs and add slots/ports.

  • Enable IP Multicast over Fabric Connect globally.

About this task

Use this procedure to configure the VRF timeout value. The timeout value ages out the sender when there is no multicast stream on the VRF. The default is 210 seconds.

Note

You can use this procedure for Layer 3 VSN with IP Multicast over Fabric Connect services and IP Multicast over Fabric Connect for IP Shortcuts.

Procedure
