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

Figure 1 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.

Figure 1 Components of an Extranet MVPN

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 in Cisco IOS Releases 12.2(31)SB2 and 12.2(33)SXH, 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 receiver MVRF on the source PE router.

•Option 2—Configure the source MVRF on the receiver 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.

Figure 2 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.

Figure 3 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

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

Prior to the introduction of the Multicast VPN Extranet VRF Select feature, RPF lookups for a source address could be performed only in a single VRF, that is, in the VRF where Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) or PIM joins are received, in the VRF learned from BGP imported routes, or in the VRF specified in static mroutes (when RPF for an extranet MVPN is configured using static mroutes). In those cases, the source VRF is solely determined by the source address or the way the source address was learned.

The Multicast VPN Extranet VRF Select feature provides the capability for RPF lookups to be performed to the same source address in different VRFs using the group address as the VRF selector. This feature enhances extranet MVPNs by enabling service providers to distribute content streams coming in from different MVPNs and redistributing them from there.

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 select command 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.

Figure 4 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

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

This section contains the following tasks:

•Configuring MVPN Extranet Support (required)

•Configuring RPF for MVPN Extranet Support Using Static Mroutes (optional)

•Configuring Group-Based VRF Selection Policies with MVPN Extranet Support (optional)

Configuring MVPN Extranet Support

Perform this task to configure support for extranet MVPN services. Extranet MVPN services enable service providers to distribute IP multicast content originated from a corporate site to the sites of external business partners or suppliers.

Perform one of the following tasks to provide extranet MVPN capabilities:

•Configuring the Receiver MVRF on the Source PE (Option 1)

•Configuring the Source MVRF on the Receiver PE (Option 2)

Prerequisites

•This task assumes that you have configured intranet VPN in the source and receiver VPNs.

Restrictions

•The Multicast VPN Extranet Support feature supports only PIM-SM and SSM traffic; PIM-DM and bidir-PIM traffic are not supported.

•When extranet MVPNs are configured in a PIM-SM environment, the source and the RP must reside in the same site of the MVPN behind the same PE router.

•In Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SXH and subsequent 12.2SX releases, 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 the Multicast VPN Extranet Support feature) and packets are replicated in hardware when being forwarded to extranet sites.

•In Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SRC and subsequent 12.2SR releases, the Multicast VPN Extranet Support feature was not supported on Cisco 7600 series routers. In Cisco IOS Release 15.0(1)S, support for the Multicast VPN Extranet Support feature was introduced on Cisco 7600 series routers.

Configuring the Receiver MVRF on the Source PE (Option 1)

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

The configuration for this task is done at PE1, the source PE router, in Figure 5. To provide extranet MVPN services from one enterprise VPN site (for example, VPN-Green) to another enterprise VPN site (for example, VPN-Red) using Option 1, you would 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 would configure the same unicast routing policy to import routes from the source MVRF (for example, the MVRF for VPN-Green) to the receiver MVRF (for example, the MVRF for VPN-Red).

•The global keyword is used to specify that the RPF lookup for groups matching the access list specified for the group-list keyword and access-list argument be performed in the global routing table.

•The vrf keyword and source-vrf-name argument are used to specify that the RPF lookups for groups matching the access list specified with the group-list keyword and access-list argument be performed in the VRF specified for the vrf-name argument.

•The group-list keyword and access-list argument are used to specify the access list to be applied to the group-based VRF selection policy.

Step 4

Repeat Step 3 to create additional group-based VRF selection policies.

—

Step 5

end

Example:

Router(config)# end

Exits global configuration mode and enters privileged EXEC mode.

Step 6

show ip rpf [vrf vrf-name] select

Example:

Router# show ip rpf select

Displays group-to-VRF mapping information.

•Use the optional vrf keyword and vrf-name argument to display the group-to-VRF mappings for the VRF instance specified for the vrf-name argument.

Step 7

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.

•Use the optional vrf keyword and vrf-name argument to display how IP multicast routing does RPF in the VRF specified for the vrf-name argument.

Configuration Examples for Multicast VPN Extranet Support

This section provides the following configuration examples:

•Example: Configuring the Receiver VRF on the Source PE Router (Option 1)

•Example: Configuring the Source VRF on the Receiver PE (Option 2)

•Example: Displaying Statistics for MVPN Extranet Support

•Example: Configuring RPF for MVPN Extranet Support Using Static Mroutes

•Example: Configuring Group-Based VRF Selection Policies with MVPN 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 Figure 7. 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 Figure 8. 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.

States in the VRF Table for VPN-Red on PE2 After Receivers in VPN-Red Join Multicast Group 228.8.8.8 When PE2 Is a Catalyst 6500 Series Switch Configured for MVPN Extranet Support

The following are sample outputs from the show ip mroute and show mls ip multicast commands on PE2, when PE2 is a Catalyst 6500 series switch configured to support extranet MVPN services. The sample output from the show ip mroute command shows the state of the VRF table for VPN-Red on PE2 when receivers join the multicast group 228.8.8.8. The "using vrf VPN-Green" field indicates that VPN-Red is using unicast routing information from VPN-Green to determine the RPF interface through which the source is reachable. The sample output from the show mls ip multicast command shows MLS information related to multicast group 228.8.8.8 in VPN-Red.

Example: Displaying Statistics for MVPN Extranet Support

Note This example is standalone; that is, it does not refer to any other topologies.

The MFIB-based implementation of IP multicast updates counters in source MVRF mroute entries for extranet MVPN. These counters can be displayed using the show ip mfib vrf vrf-name command in the source MVRF. Counters in the receiver MVRF mroute entries will remain zero.

When displaying statistics for extranet MVPN, perform the following steps:

•Use the show ip mroute command to determine the source and receiver MVRFs.

•Use the show ip mfib vrf vrf-name command (with the source MVRF entered for the vrf-name argument) to display the statistics.

Note To display statistics for extranet MVPN, we recommend that you use the show ip mfib command instead of the show ip mroute count command.

show ip mroute

The following output from the show ip mroute command shows that VRF blue is the source MVRF and VRF red is the receiver MVRF:

	Command or Action	Purpose
Step 1	enable Example: Router> enable	Enables privileged EXEC mode. •Enter your password if prompted.
Step 2	configure terminal Example: Router# configure terminal	Enters global configuration mode.
Step 3	ip vrf vrf-name Example: Router(config)# ip vrf VPN-Red	Defines the VPN routing instance by assigning a VRF name and enters VRF configuration mode. •The vrf-name argument is the name assigned to a VRF.
Step 4	rd route-distinguisher Example: Router(config-vrf)# rd 55:2222	Creates routing and forwarding tables. •Specify the route-distinguisher argument to add an 8-byte value to an IPv4 prefix to create a VPN IPv4 prefix. You can enter an RD in either of these formats: –16-bit autonomous system number: your 32-bit number, for example, 101:3 –32-bit IP address: your 16-bit number, for example, 192.168.122.15:1
Step 5	route-target import route-target-ext-community Example: Router(config-vrf)# route-target import 55:1111	Creates a route-target extended community for a VRF. •The import keyword imports routing information from the target VPN extended community. •The route-target-ext-community argument adds the route-target extended community attributes to the VRF's list of import, export, or both (import and export) route-target extended communities. Note For content to be distributed from the source MVRF to the receiver MVRF, you must configure the same unicast routing policy on the source and receiver PE routers to import routes from the source VRF to the receiver VRF.
Step 6	mdt default group-address Example: Router(config-vrf)# mdt default 232.3.3.3	Configures the multicast group address range for data MDT groups for a VRF. •A tunnel interface is created as a result of this command. •By default, the destination address of the tunnel header is the group-address argument. Note With Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SXI2 and later releases, when VRF lite is configured as part of an extranet MVPN topology, the MVPN extranet traffic is switched in hardware regardless of the state of the MDF tunnel.
Step 7	end Example: Router(config-vrf)# end	Exits VRF configuration mode and returns to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 8	show ip mroute [vrf vrf-name] group-address Example: Router# show ip mroute 232.3.3.3	(Optional) Displays the contents of the IP multicast mroute table for a specific group address.
Step 9	show mls ip multicast group group-address Example: Router# show mls ip multicast group 232.3.3.3	(Optional) Displays multilayer switching (MLS) information related to a specific multicast group. Note This command can be used only to verify support for extranet MVPN services on Catalyst 6500 series switches running Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SXH or a subsequent 12.2SX release.

	Command or Action	Purpose
Step 1	enable Example: Router> enable	Enables privileged EXEC mode. •Enter your password if prompted.
Step 2	configure terminal Example: Router# configure terminal	Enters global configuration mode.
Step 3	ip vrf vrf-name Example: Router(config)# ip vrf VPN-Red	Defines the VPN routing instance by assigning a VRF name and enters VRF configuration mode. •The vrf-name argument is the name assigned to a VRF.
Step 4	rd route-distinguisher Example: Router(config-vrf)# rd 55:1111	Creates routing and forwarding tables. •The route-distinguisher argument adds an 8-byte value to an IPv4 prefix to create a VPN IPv4 prefix. You can enter an RD in either of these formats: –16-bit autonomous system number: your 32-bit number, for example, 101:3 –32-bit IP address: your 16-bit number, for example, 192.168.122.15:1
Step 5	route-target import route-target-ext-community Example: Router(config-vrf)# route-target import 55:1111	Creates a route-target extended community for a VRF. •The import keyword exports routing information to the target VPN extended community. •The route-target-ext-community argument adds the route-target extended community attributes to the VRF's list of import, export, or both (import and export) route-target extended communities. Note For content to be distributed from the source MVRF to the receiver MVRF, you must configure the same unicast routing policy on the source and receiver PE routers to import routes from the source VRF to the receiver VRF.
Step 6	mdt default group-address Example: Router(config-vrf)# mdt default 232.1.1.1	Configures the multicast group address range for data MDT groups for a VRF. •A tunnel interface is created as a result of this command. •By default, the destination address of the tunnel header is the group-address argument. Note With Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SXI2 and later releases, when VRF lite is configured as part of an extranet MVPN topology, the MVPN extranet traffic is switched in hardware regardless of the state of the MDF tunnel.
Step 7	end Example: Router(config-vrf)# end	Exits VRF configuration mode and returns to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 8	show ip mroute [vrf vrf-name] group-address Example: Router# show ip mroute 232.1.1.1	(Optional) Displays the contents of the IP multicast mroute table for a specific group address.
Step 9	show mls ip multicast group group-address Example: Router# show mls ip multicast group 232.3.3.3	(Optional) Displays MLS information related to a specific multicast group.

Step 2	configure terminal Example: Router# configure terminal	Enters global configuration mode.
Step 3	ip multicast [vrf receiver-vrf-name] rpf select {global \| vrf source-vrf-name} group-list access-list Example: Router(config)# ip multicast vrf VPN-Green rpf select vrf VPN-Red group-list 1	Configures 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. •The optional vrf keyword and receiver-vrf-name argument are used to apply a group-based VRF selection policy to RPF lookups originating in the VRF specified for the receiver-vrf-name argument. If the optional vrf keyword and receiver-vrf-name argument are not specified, the group-based VRF selection policy applies to RPF lookups originating in the global table. •The global keyword is used to specify that the RPF lookup for groups matching the access list specified for the group-list keyword and access-list argument be performed in the global routing table. •The vrf keyword and source-vrf-name argument are used to specify that the RPF lookups for groups matching the access list specified with the group-list keyword and access-list argument be performed in the VRF specified for the vrf-name argument. •The group-list keyword and access-list argument are used to specify the access list to be applied to the group-based VRF selection policy.
Step 4	Repeat Step 3 to create additional group-based VRF selection policies.	—
Step 5	end Example: Router(config)# end	Exits global configuration mode and enters privileged EXEC mode.
Step 6	show ip rpf [vrf vrf-name] select Example: Router# show ip rpf select	Displays group-to-VRF mapping information. •Use the optional vrf keyword and vrf-name argument to display the group-to-VRF mappings for the VRF instance specified for the vrf-name argument.
Step 7	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. •Use the optional vrf keyword and vrf-name argument to display how IP multicast routing does RPF in the VRF specified for the vrf-name argument.
