To configure 7210 SAS-R device properties for MVPN

When to use

When you configure 7210 SAS-R sites in a VPRN for multicast VPN using a P2MP LSP, you must configure the device properties appropriately. Also, PIM or IGMP must be enabled on the site.

Perform the following to configure the device properties for a 7210 SAS-R site.

Steps
 
1 

On the equipment tree, right-click on the required 7210 SAS-R NE and choose Properties. The Network Element (Edit) form opens.

2 

Click on the Globals tab.

3 

To allocate system resources to enable the P2MP function, click on the System Resource Profile tab and configure the MPLS P2MP Resource parameter.

4 

Specify a no-service P2MP bud port. You can use a virtual port or a physical port. Click on the Service tab, then on the General tab, and perform one of the following:

Note: You can only configure a no-service P2MP bud port when LDP is disabled on the site routing instance. You must set the Administrative State to Down on the General tab of the LDP properties form. See To configure global-level LDP.

  1. Select the Use Virtual P2MP Bud Port parameter and choose a virtual port. The number of available ports and the port names vary depending on the card type and release. Virtual ports are not displayed on the navigation tree.

  2. Select a physical P2MP Bud port. The physical port cannot contain any SAPs.
