BGP — mVPN BGP sAFI 129 - IPv4

The BGP—mVPN BGP sAFI 129 IPv4 feature provides the capability to support multicast routing in the service provider’s core IPv4 network. This feature is needed to support BGP-based MVPNs. BGP MVPN provides a means for service providers to use different encapsulation methods (generic routing encapsulation [GRE], Multicast Label Distribution Protocol [MPDP], and ingress replication) for forwarding MVPN multicast data traffic in the service provider network.

Information About BGP--mVPN BGP sAFI 129 - IPv4

BGP — mVPN BGP sAFI 129 - IPv4 Overview

The Cisco BGP Address Family Identifier (AFI) model was introduced with multiprotocol BGP and is designed to be modular and scalable and to support multiple AFI and Subsequent Address Family Identifier (SAFI) configurations. SAFI provides additional information about the type of Network Layer Reachability Information (NLRI) that is used to describe a route and how to connect to a destination.

SAFI 129 provides the capability to support multicast routing in the service provider’s core IPv4 network. This feature is needed to support BGP-based MVPNs. The addition of SAFI 129 allows multicast to select an upstream multicast hop that may be independent of the unicast topology. Multicast routes learned from the customer edge (CE) router or multicast VPN routes learned from remote provider edge (PE) routers are installed into the multicast Routing Information Base (RIB), whereas previously unicast routes in the unicast RIB were replicated into the multicast RIB.

The address-family ipv4 command has been updated to support IP version 4 (IPv4) multicast address prefixes for a VPN routing and forwarding (VRF) instance, and the address-family vpnv4 command has been updated to support VPN version 4 (VPNv4) multicast address prefixes.

     exit-address-family
     !
     !<<< Define multicast address-family vrf vrf1
     !<<< (safi2. PE-CE is eBGP in this case. 
     !<<< If PE-CE is not eBGP, please use
     !<<< redistribute cli, instead of

      Step 18 address-family ipv4 multicast vrf vrf-name


      Example:
      Device(config-router)# address-family ipv4 multicast vrf vrf1 
      
       

      Configures a routing session using IPv4 multicast address prefixes for a VRF instance and enters address family configuration mode.

       
      Step 19 no synchronization


      Example:
      Device(config-router-af)# no synchronization
      
       

      Enables the Cisco software to advertise a network route without waiting for the IGP system.

       
      Step 20 exit-address-family


      Example:
      Device(config-router-af)# exit-address-family
      
       

      Exits address family configuration mode and enters router configuration mode.

       
      Step 21 end


      Example:
      Device(config)# end
      
       

      Exits router configuration mode and returns to privileged EXEC mode.

       
      Step 22 show running-config | b router bgp


      Example:
      Device# show running-config | b router bgp
      
       

      (Optional) Displays the running configuration for specified device.

       

      Configuration Examples for BGP--mVPN BGPsAFI 129 - IPv4

      Example: Configuring BGP - mVPN BGP sAFI 129 - IPv4

      This example uses the topology illustrated in the figure below.



      The following example configures BGP SAFI 129 on the route reflector (RR):

      !
      ip multicast-routing 
      !
      !<<< Define BGP update-source loopback0
      !<<< on RR as 192.0.2.10
      interface loopback0
       ip pim sparse-dense-mode
       ip address 192.0.2.10 255.255.255.255
      !
      .
      .
      .
      router bgp 65000
       no synchronization
       neighbor 192.0.2.1 remote-as 65000
       neighbor 192.0.2.1 update-source loopback0
       neighbor 192.0.2.2 remote-as 65000
       neighbor 192.0.2.2 update-source loopback0
       neighbor 192.0.2.3 remote-as 65000
       neighbor 192.0.2.3 update-source loopback0
       !
       .
       .
       address-family vpnv4 unicast
        neighbor 192.0.2.1 activate
        neighbor 192.0.2.1 send-community extended
        neighbor 192.0.2.1 route-reflector-client
        neighbor 192.0.2.2 activate
        neighbor 192.0.2.2 send-community extended
        neighbor 192.0.2.2 route-reflector-client
        neighbor 192.0.2.3 activate
        neighbor 192.0.2.3 send-community extended
        neighbor 192.0.2.3 route-reflector-client 
        exit-address-family
       !
       address-family vpnv4 multicast
        !<<< want route from CE1 with nexthop
        !<<< through PE3 in multicast routing table
        neighbor 192.0.2.1 activate
        neighbor 192.0.2.1 send-community extended
        neighbor 192.0.2.1 route-reflector-client
        neighbor 192.0.2.3 activate 
        neighbor 192.0.2.3 send-community extended
        neighbor 192.0.2.3 route-reflector-client
       exit-address-family
      ! 
      .
      .
      

      The following example configures BGP SAFI 129 on the PE1 router (PE2 and PE3 will have a similar configuration):

      
      Hostname PE1
      !
      vrf definition vrf1
       rd 1:1
       route-target export 1:1
       route-target import 1:1
       !
       address-family ipv4
        mdt default 239.0.0.1
       exit-address-family
      !
      ip multicast-routing
      ip multicast-routing vrf vrf1
      !

      !
      .
      .
      ,
      router bgp 65000
       !<<<< PE peer neighbor with RR
       neighbor 192.0.2.10 remote-as 65000
       neighbor 192.0.2.10 update-source loopback0

       .
       .
       .
       address-family vpnv4
        neighbor 192.0.2.10 activate
        neighbor 192.0.2.10 send-community extended
       exit-address-family
       !
       !<<< Define vpnv4 safi129 with neighbor

       address-family vpnv4 multicast
        neighbor 192.0.2.10 activate
        neighbor 192.0.2.10 send-community extended
       exit-address-family
       !
       .
       .
       .
       !<<< Define unicast address-family vrf vrf1.
       !<<< PE-CE is eBGP in this case. 
       !<<< If PE-CE is not eBGP, please use
       !<<< redistribute cli, instead of 
       !<<< neighbor cli below.
       address-family ipv4 vrf vrf1 
        no synchronization
        redistribute connected
        neighbor 192.0.2.5 remote-as 65011
       exit-address-family
       !
       !<<< Define multicast address-family vrf vrf1
       !<<< (safi2. PE-CE is eBGP in this case. 
       !<<< If PE-CE is not eBGP, please use
       !<<< redistribute cli, instead of 
       !<<< neighbor cli below.
       address-family ipv4 multicast vrf vrf1
        no synchronization
        redistribute connected
        neighbor 192.0.2.5 remote-as 65011
       exit-address-family
       !
      

      The following example configures BGP SAFI 129 on the CE1 router. (In this case, PE-CE routing is eBGP. CE2 will have a similar configuration):

      
      interface ethernet0/0
       ip address 192.0.2.5 255.255.255.0
       ip pim sparse-dense-mode
      !
      .
      .
      .
      router bgp 65011
       bgp router-id 192.0.2.5
       bgp log-neighbor-changes
       !
       address-family ipv4 
        redistribute connected
        neighbor 192.0.2.1 remote-as 65000
       exit-address-family
       !
       address-family ipv4 multicast
        redistribute connected
        neighbor 192.0.2.1 remote-as 65000
       exit-address-family
      !

      Cisco IOS XE Release 3.6S

      The BGP - mVPN BGP sAFI 129 IPv4 feature provides the capability to support multicast routing in the service provider’s core IPv4 network. This feature is needed to support BGP-based MVPNs. BGP MVPN provides a means for service providers to use different encapsulation methods (generic route encapsulation (GRE), Multicast Label Distribution Protocol (MLDP), and ingress replication) for forwarding MVPN multicast data traffic in the service provider network. In Cisco IOS Release 15.2(4)S, support was added for the Cisco 7200 series router.

      The following commands were modified: address-family ipv4, address-family vpnv4.
