Hi Everyone-
I emailed everyone a couple of days ago and had a couple more
questions. Here is the general scenario:
AS100 - 4 Routers full messed (R1, R2, R3, R4)
AS200 - 2 Routers connected (R5 , R6)
IPv4 Connections: R3 Route Reflector for R1, R2, R4
R1 to R3
R2 to R3 and R5
R3 to R1, R2, R4, and R6
R4 to R3
R5 to R2 and R6
R6 to R3 and R5
VPNv4 Connections: R1 Route Reflector for R2, R3, R4
R1 to R2, R3, R4, and R5 (connected ebgp
via loopback, next hop unchanged)
R2 to R1
R3 to R1
R4 to R1
R5 to R1 and R6
R6 to R5
I'm running ipv4 and vpnv4 address families in BGP and in AS100 I'm
redistributing the loopbacks of R5 and R6 in to IGP. This allows for
end-to-end connectivity along with send-label and set mpls-label due to
a route map.
The issue is that with MPLS VPN up and running, I can enable
multicast, w/pim sparse, BSR in AS100 and static rp mappings in AS200.
However, once I enable mcast address family, the MPLS VPN breaks.
Without the Mcast address family, I can run MSDP and two out of the four
routers ( the two working are not the ASBRs) can ping the other AS's
mcast group.
Has anyone seen issues with the multicast address family. I don't
feel like losing points on inter AS Mcast and Mcast VPN because of this.
Also, my lab is a couple of days away with someone else's tomorrow so
any help is very much appreciated!!
