Information About Multicast VPN Extranet Support

Overview of MVPN Extranet Support

An extranet can be viewed as part of a company’s intranet that is extended to users outside the company. It has also been described as a “state of mind” in which a VPN is used as a way to do business with other companies as well as to sell products and content to customers and companies. An extranet is a VPN connecting the corporate site or sites to external business partners or suppliers to securely share part of a business’s information or operations among them.

MPLS VPNs inherently provide security, ensuring that users access only appropriate information. MPLS VPN extranet services offer extranet users unicast connectivity without compromising the integrity of their corporate data. The Multicast VPN Extranet Support feature extends this offer to include multicast connectivity to the extranet community of interest.

The Multicast VPN Extranet Support feature enables service providers to distribute IP multicast content originated from one enterprise site to other enterprise sites. This feature enables service providers to offer the next generation of flexible extranet services, helping to enable business partnerships between different enterprise VPN customers. Using this feature, service providers can offer multicast extranet contracts to meet various business partnership requirements, including short-term, annual, and rolling contracts.

Benefits of MVPN Extranet Support

The Multicast VPN Extranet Support feature can be used to solve such business problems as:

  • Efficient content distribution between enterprises

  • Efficient content distribution from service providers or content providers to their different enterprise VPN customers

Components of an Extranet MVPN

The figure below illustrates the components that constitute an extranet MVPN.

  • MVRF --Multicast VPN routing and forwarding (VRF) instance. An MVRF is a multicast-enabled VRF. A VRF consists of an IP routing table, a derived forwarding table, a set of interfaces that use the forwarding table, and a set of rules and routing protocols that determine what goes into the forwarding table. In general, a VRF includes the routing information that defines a customer VPN site that is attached to a provider edge (PE) router.

  • Source MVRF --An MVRF that can reach the source through a directly connected customer edge (CE) router.

  • Receiver MVRF --An MVRF to which receivers are connected through one or more CE devices.

  • Source PE --A PE router that has a multicast source behind a directly connected CE router.

  • Receiver PE --A PE router that has one or more interested receivers behind a directly connected CE router.

Solution for MVPN Extranet Support

For unicast, there is no difference between an intranet or extranet from a routing perspective; that is, when a VRF imports a prefix, that prefix is reachable through a label-switched path (LSP). If the enterprise owns the prefix, the prefix is considered a part of the corporate intranet; otherwise, the prefix is considered a part of an extranet. For multicast, however, the reachability of a prefix (especially through an LSP) is not sufficient to build a multicast distribution tree (MDT).

In order to provide support for extranet MVPN services, the same default MDT group must be configured in the source and receiver MVRF. Prior to the introduction of the Multicast VPN Extranet Support feature, there were challenges that prevented service providers from providing extranet MVPN services:

  • The source MVRF may not have been configured with a default MDT group, or it may have been configured with a different MDT group as compared to the receiver MVRF. In the former case there was no way for the source MVRF to forward multicast streams to extranet sites, and in the latter case, there was no way for the separate MVRFs to be linked.

  • It was not possible to maintain a forwarding table in cases where the RPF interface and outgoing interfaces belong to different VRFs.

The Multicast VPN Extranet Support feature solves these challenges as follows:

  • The receiver and source MVRF multicast route (mroute) entries are linked.

  • The Reverse Path Forwarding (RPF) check relies on unicast routing information to determine the interface through which the source is reachable. This interface is used as the RPF interface.

Configuration Guidelines for MVPN Extranet Support

Two configuration options are available to provide extranet MVPN services:

  • Option 1--Configure the source MVRF on the receiver PE router.

  • Option 2--Configure the receiver MVRF on the source PE router.

MVPN Extranet Support Configuration Guidelines for Option 1

To provide extranet MVPN services to enterprise VPN customers by configuring the receiver MVRF on the source PE router (Option 1), you would complete the following procedure:

  • For each extranet site, you would configure an additional MVRF on the source PE router, that has the same default MDT group as the receiver MVRF, if the MVRF is not configured on the source PE.

  • In the receiver MVRF configuration, you would configure the same unicast routing policy on the source and receiver PE routers to import routes from the source MVRF to the receiver MVRF.

The figure illustrates the flow of multicast traffic in an extranet MVPN topology where a receiver MVRF is configured on the source PE router (Option 1). In the topology, an MVRF is configured for VPN-Green and VPN-Red on PE1, the source PE router. A multicast source behind PE1 is sending out a multicast stream to the MVRF for VPN-Green, and there are interested receivers behind PE2 and PE3, the receiver PE routers for VPN-Red and VPN-Green, respectively. After PE1 receives the packets from the source in the MVRF for VPN-Green, it independently replicates and encapsulates the packets in the MVRF for VPN-Green and VPN-Red and forwards the packets. After receiving the packets from this source, PE2 and PE3 decapsulate and forward the packets to the respective MVRFs.

Figure 2. Packet Flow for MVPN Extranet Support Configuration Option 1

MVPN Extranet Support Configuration Guidelines for Option 2

To provide extranet MVPN services to enterprise VPN customers by configuring a source MVRF on a receiver PE router (Option 2), you would complete the following procedure:

  • On a receiver PE router that has one or more interested receivers in a extranet site behind a directly connected CE router, configure an additional MVRF that has the same default MDT group as the site connected to the multicast source, if the MVRF is not configured.

  • On the receiver PE router, you would configure the same unicast routing policy to import routes from the source MVRF to the receiver MVRF.

The figure illustrates the flow of multicast traffic in an extranet MVPN topology where the source MVRF is configured on a receiver PE router (Option 2). In the topology, an MVRF is configured for VPN-Green and VPN-Red on PE2, a receiver PE router. A multicast source behind PE1, the source PE router, is sending out a multicast stream to the MVRF for VPN-Green, and there are interested receivers behind PE2, the receiver PE router for VPN-Red, and behind PE3, the receiver PE router for VPN-Green. After PE1 receives the packets from the source in the MVRF for VPN-Green, it replicates and forwards the packets to PE2 and PE3, because both routers are connected to receivers in VPN-Green. The packets that originated from VPN-Green are then replicated on PE2 and forwarded to the interested receivers in VPN-Red and are replicated on PE3 and forwarded to the interested receivers in VPN-Green.

Figure 3. Packet Flow for MVPN Extranet Support Configuration Option 2

RPF for MVPN Extranet Support Using Imported Routes

You must configure either the receiver MVRF on the source PE router (Option 1) or the source MVRF on the receiver PE router (Option 2) for extranet links to be created. Once configured, RPF relies on unicast routing information to determine the interface through which the source is reachable. This interface is used as the RPF interface. No additional configuration is required for RPF resolution. The Multicast VPN Extranet Support feature supports RPF from one VRF to another VRF, from a VRF to the global routing table, and from the global routing table to a VRF.

RPF for MVPN Extranet Support Using Static Mroutes


Note

This capability is not supported for MVPNv6 extranet.

By default, an extranet MVPN relies on unicast routing policies to determine the RPF interface. When the RPF lookup originates in a receiver MVRF, and it finds that the RPF interface does not lie in the same MVRF, the router uses the information in the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) imported route to determine the source MVRF. The RPF lookup then continues and resolves in the source MVRF. In cases where the multicast and unicast topologies are incongruent, you can override the default behavior by configuring a static mroute in the receiver MVRF to explicitly specify the source MVRF using the ip mroute command with the fallback-lookup keyword and vrf vrf-name keyword and argument.

Static mroutes can also be configured to support RPF for extranet MVPN in the case where the source is present in an MVRF and the receiver is in the global table. In this case, because BGP does not allow VPNv4 routes to be imported into the IPv4 routing table, unicast cannot obtain the source MVRF information needed to resolve the RPF lookup. To enable the RPF lookup to be resolved in this case, a static mroute can be configured to explicitly specify the source MVRF using the ip mroute command with the fallback-lookup keyword and the global keyword.

Multicast VPN Extranet VRF Select

The Multicast VPN VRF Select feature is configured by creating group-based VRF selection policies. Group-based VRF selection policies are configured using the ip multicast rpf select command. The ip multicast rpf selectcommand is used to configure RPF lookups originating in a receiver MVRF or in the global routing table to be resolved in a source MVRF or in the global routing table based on group address. Access Control Lists (ACLs) are used to define the groups to be applied to group-based VRF selection policies.

The figure illustrates an extranet MVPN topology with the Multicast VPN VRF Select feature configured. In this topology, (S, G1) and (S, G2) PIM joins originating from VPN-Green, the receiver VRF, are forwarded to PE1, the receiver PE. Based on the group-based VRF selection policies configured, PE1 sends the PIM joins to VPN-Red and VPN-Blue for groups G1 and G2, respectively.

Figure 4. RPF Lookups Using Group-Based VRF Selection Policies

MVPNv6 Extranet

IPv6 Multicast Virtual Private Network (MVPNv6) provides multiple VPN support that enables service providers to provide multicast-enabled private IPv6 networks to their customers using the existing IPv4 back bone. In the MVPNv6 implementation, the IPv6 multicast traffic is carried over the same IPv4-based core network and both the IPv4 and IPv6 VPN traffic are carried over the same tunnels simultaneously. MVPNv6 extranet forwards IPv6 multicast traffic across VRF boundaries on a PE device to connect the service provider to external business partners or suppliers for securely sharing information or operations among them.

Hardware Acceleration for Multicast VPN Extranet Support on Catalyst 6500 Series Switches

Beginning in Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SXH, when the Multicast VPN Extranet Support feature is configured on Catalyst 6500 series switches, forwarding entries for source and receiver MVRFs are linked in hardware (similar to how they are linked in software for this feature) and packets are replicated in hardware when being forwarded to extranet MVPN sites. This functionality is referred to as the Hardware Acceleration for Multicast VPN Extranet Support feature.

How to Configure Multicast VPN Extranet Support

Configuring MVPN Support

Perform one of the following tasks to provide extranet MVPN capabilities in an IPv4 core network:

Configuring the Receiver MVRF on the Source PE - Option 1

Perform this task to configure the receiver MVRF on the source PE router (Option 1) and provide support for extranet MVPN services.

In the following figure, the source PE router is PE1. To provide extranet MVPN services from one enterprise VPN site (VPN-Green) to another enterprise VPN site (VPN-Red) using Option 1, configure the receiver MVRF on the source PE router. In the receiver MVRF configuration, the default MDT group must be the same on both the source and receiver PE routers. In addition, you must configure the same unicast routing policy to import routes from the source MVRF (he MVRF for VPN-Green) to the receiver MVRF (the MVRF for VPN-Red).

          Step 7Use one of the following commands:
          • show ip rpf [vrf vrf-name] source-address [group-address]


          Example: 
          Router# show ip rpf 172.16.10.13
           

          Displays information about how IP multicast routing does RPF.

          • Use this command after configuring group-based VRF selection policies to confirm that RPF lookups are being performed based on the group address, and to display the VRF where the RPF lookup is being performed.

           

          Configuration Examples for Multicast VPN Extranet Support

          Example Configuring the Receiver VRF on the Source PE Router - Option 1

          The following example shows the configurations for PE1, the source PE router, and PE2, the receiver PE router, in the figure. In this example, extranet MVPN services are supported between VPN-Green and VPN-Red by configuring the receiver MVRF for VPN-Red on PE1, the source PE router. The MVRF configuration for VPN-Red is configured to import routes from the MVRF for VPN-Green to the MVRF for VPN-Red.

          Example Configuring the Source VRF on the Receiver PE - Option 2

          The following configuration example is based on the extranet MVPN topology illustrated in the figure. This example shows the configurations for PE2, the receiver PE router, and PE1, the source PE router. In this example, extranet MVPN services are supported between VPN-Green and VPN-Red by configuring the source MVRF for VPN-Green on PE2. The same unicast routing policy is configured to import routes from VPN-Green to VPN-Red.

          Example: Displaying Statistics for MVPN Extranet Support

          This example is a stand alone example and does not refer to any other technologies.

          The MFIB-based implementation of IP multicast updates counters in source MVRF mroute entries for extranet MVPN. Counters in the source MVRF can be displayed using Cisco IOS commands. Counters in the receiver MVRF mroute entries will remain zero.

          Use the show ip mroute command to determine the source and receiver MVRFs. The following sample output shows that VRF blue is the source MVRF and VRF red is the receiver MVRF:

          The following example shows the following information for the receiver MVRF red:

          • There are no forwarding statistics in the receiver MVRF MFIB because these statistics are collected in the source MVRF.

          • The A and F flags are not set because these flags are only set in the source MVRF for MVPN extranet.

          • There is no indication of extranet forwarding in the MFIB.


          Note

          The NS flag in the output is present for the purpose of receiving PIM control traffic in the receiver MVRF.

          You can also use the show ip mroute count command to display the extranet MVPN statistics. However, we recommend that you use the show ip mfib command instead. If you use the show ip mroute countcommand to display statistics, inspect the output to ensure that the forwarding statistics in the source MVRF are correct and that there are no forwarding statistics in the receiver MVRF.

          The following sample output from the show ip mroute count command shows statistics for the source MVRF blue: 

          PE1# show ip mroute vrf blue 228.1.1.1 count

Use "show ip mfib count" to get better response time for a large number of
mroutes.
