Chapter 25 Configuring IPv4 Multicast VPN Support
Configuring MVPN
To avoid disrupting customer traffic, we recommend verifying that the router is already in ingress
multicast replication mode before configuring any MVRFs.
This example shows how to verify the multicast replication mode:
Router#
show mls ip multicast capability
Current mode of replication is Ingress
auto replication mode detection is ON
Slot Multicast replication capability
2 Egress
5 Egress
6 Egress
8 Ingress
9 Ingress
Router#
If the current replication mode is egress or if any of the switching modules are capable of egress
replication mode, configure ingress replication mode during a scheduled maintenance period to
minimize the disruption of customer traffic.
To configure ingress multicast replication mode, perform this task:
This example shows how to configure ingress multicast replication mode and verify the configuration:
Router(config)#
mls ip multicast replication-mode ingress
Router(config)#
do show mls ip multicast capability | include Current
Current mode of replication is Ingress
Configuring a Multicast VPN Routing and Forwarding Instance
These sections describe how to configure a multicast VPN routing and forwarding (MVRF) instance for
each VPN connection on each PE router that is to handle the traffic for each particular VPN connection
that is to transmit or receive multicast traffic:

Command
Purpose
Step 1
Router#
configure terminal
Enters global configuration mode.
Step 2
Router(config)#
mls ip multicast replication-mode
ingress
Configures ingress multicast replication mode and
disables automatic detection of the replication mode
(enabled by default).
Router(config)#
no mls ip multicast
replication-mode ingress
Enables automatic detection of the replication mode.
Step 3
Router(config)#
do show mls ip multicast
capability | include Current
Verifies the configuration.
