Configure IP Multicast over Fabric Connect Globally

Before you begin

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

  • You must create the customer VLANs (C-VLANs) and add slots/ports.

  • You must add IST slot/ports to the C-VLAN for an SMLT topology.

About this task

Use this procedure to enable IP Multicast over Fabric Connect globally on the Backbone Edge Bridges (BEBs) that directly, or indirectly (using Layer 2 switches), connect to IP multicast senders or receivers. By default, IP Multicast over Fabric Connect is disabled. You do not need to enable IP Multicast over Fabric Connect on the Backbone Core Bridges (BCBs).

You must configure IP Multicast over Fabric Connect globally, and then enable it on the service option or options you choose.

You must enable IP multicast over Fabric Connect globally on all DvR enabled nodes (Controllers and Leaf nodes) in a DvR domain.

Note

Note

IP Multicast over Fabric Connect uses I-SIDs starting at 16,000,000 and above. If Layer 2 or Layer 3 I-SIDs are in this range, the system displays an error message and the switch does not enable IP Multicast over Fabric Connect.

Procedure

  1. In the navigation pane, expand Configuration > Fabric > SPBM.
  2. Select the I-SID tab to determine if the I-SIDs are within the default range reserved for multicast.
  3. Select the SPBM tab.
  4. To enable multicast on an SPBM instance that already exists, in the Mcast column in the table, select enable.
  5. To enable multicast on a new SPBM instance, select Insert.
  6. In Mcast, select enable to enable IP Multicast over Fabric Connect globally.
  7. Select Insert.
  8. Select Apply.

SPBM Field Descriptions

Use the data in the following table to use the SPBM tab.

Name

Description

Id

Specifies the SPBM instance ID. Only one SPBM instance is supported.

NodeNickName

Specifies a nickname for the SPBM instance globally. Valid value is 2.5 bytes in the format <x.xx.xx>.

PrimaryVlan

Specifies the primary SPBM B-VLANs to add to the SPBM instance.

Vlans

Specifies the SPBM B-VLANs to add to the SPBM instance.

LsdbTrap

Configures whether to enable or disable a trap when the SPBM LSDB changes. The default is disable.

IpShortcut

Enables or disables SPBM IP shortcut state. The default is disable.

SmltSplitBEB

Specifies whether the switch is the primary or secondary vIST peer. The default is primary.

SmltVirtualBmac

Specifies a virtual MAC address that can be used by both peers.

SmltPeerSysId

Specifies the system ID of the SPBM SMLT for this SPBM instance.

Mcast

Specifies if IP multicast over SPBM is enabled. The default is disabled.

McastFwdCacheTimeout

Specifies the global forward cache timeout in seconds. The default is 210 seconds.

Ipv6Shortcut

Enables or disables SPBM IPv6 shortcut state. The default is disable.

McastSpbPimGwControllerEnable

Enables or disables IS-IS PLSB Multicast SPB PIM Gateway controller. Disabled by default.

McastSpbPimGwGatewayEnable

Enables or disables IS-IS PLSB Multicast SPB PIM Gateway. Disabled by default.

StpMultiHoming

Enables or disables MSTP-Fabric Connect Multi Homing.

The default is disabled (false).

BVlanOrigin

Shows how the B-VLAN was created. The values can be config for manual configuration using CLI or SNMP, or dynamic through Zero Touch Fabric Configuration and Auto-sense. The default is dynamic.
