The following figure shows an example of multi-homed configuration. The server attached to A supports a LAG connection to A/A‘ which forms an MCT cluster. The join for the core MDT coming from the spines are directed at the logical VTEP address for the A/A‘ cluster, so that any particular join from a spine can land at either switch. Also, when LVTEP/MCT cluster joins the IP Fabric MDT, the PIM-SSM Join is initiated only by the MCT Peer node which is elected as Primary MDT node.
