To create an LSP template MVPN policy

Purpose

This procedure defines the template used to create LSPs across a multicast VPN. The LSP template MVPN policy can be configured locally on a specific NE or globally across the network.

The following can be created:

  • P2MP

  • one-hop P2P

  • mesh P2P

  • one-hop P2P SR TE

  • mesh P2P SR TE

  • OnDemand P2P SR TE

If you need to use entropy labels, the type must be One-Hop P2P LSP or Mesh P2P LSP.
