Configure IP Multicast over Fabric Connect on a Brouter Port for a Layer 3 VSN

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
