MEG or PEG configuration example

This section shows a configuration example for a pair of redundant MEGs. For a PEG example, replace the MVPN configuration for PIM interfaces in the VPRN service.

Each MEG in the pair is configured with a VPRN that contains the MVPN configuration and an SBD R-VPLS. It is assumed that there are no local sources or receivers in this example. The following CLI shows the configuration in MEG1.

If a source 40.0.0.1 is located in a remote PE of the MVPN network, and it is streaming group 239.0.0.44, the DR (for example, MEG1) attracts the traffic (by sending a C-multicast source join route) and forwards it to the SBD. The non-DR MEG2 does not add the SBD to the OIF list and therefore it does not forward the multicast traffic to the OISM domain. The following is a sample output for this scenario.

// On the DR, MEG1, the SBD-6002 is added to the OIF list
