Understanding MVPN Interoperation with Other Vendors
This section presents notes on interoperating with other vendors in a draft-rosen multicast VPN.
If your Juniper Networks routers must interoperate with other vendors’ routers, take one of these approaches:
- Configure the other vendors’ routers to interoperate with the Juniper Networks routers.
- Configure the Juniper Networks routers to interoperate with the other vendors’ routers.
If you are configuring the other vendors’ routers to operate like Juniper Networks routers, verify the following:
- All provider tunnels use the same group address.
- On all routers, the lo0.n interface IP address in the routing instance matches the IP address on the lo0.0 interface in the master instance.
By default the Junos OS attaches a route target to multicast distribution tree (MDT) subsequent address family identifier (SAFI) network layer reachability information (NLRI) route advertisements. Some vendors do not support attaching route targets to the MDT-SAFI route advertisements.
For interoperability with these vendors, the Junos OS allows importing of MDT-SAFI route advertisements without a route target being attached. The MDT-SAFI is imported if the MDT default address in the MDT-SAFI prefix matches the MDT default address configured within the routing instance.
