anycast-prefix

Syntax

Hierarchy Level

Description

Specify an IP address prefix to use for the Automatic Multicast Tunneling (AMT) relay anycast address. The prefix is advertised by unicast routing protocols to route AMT discovery messages to the router from nearby AMT gateways. The IP address that the prefix is derived from can be configured on any interface in the system. Typically, the router’s lo0.0 loopback address prefix is used for configuring the AMT anycast prefix in the default routing instance, and the router’s lo0.n loopback address prefix is used for configuring the AMT anycast prefix in VPN routing instances. However, the anycast address can be either the primary or secondary lo0.0 loopback address.

Default

None. The anycast prefix must be configured.
