Step Command

Remarks

1.

Enter system view.

system-view

N/A

2.

Enter VPN instance view.

ip vpn-instance vpn-instance-name

N/A

3.

Configure a share-group
address and an MTI binding.

multicast-domain share-group
group-address binding mtunnel

mtunnel-number

No share-group address or MTI
binding is configured.

Configuring MDT switchover parameters

To avoid frequent switching of multicast traffic between the share-MDT and the switch-MDT:
MDT switchover does not take place immediately after the first private network multicast packet is

received, but it takes place after a switch-delay period has passed, during which transmission of private

network multicast streams has lasted.
To configure MDT switchover parameters:

Step Command

Remarks

1.

Enter system view.

system-view

N/A

2.

Enter VPN instance view.

ip vpn-instance vpn-instance-name N/A

3.

Configure the
switch-group-pool address

range and the switchover

criteria.

multicast-domain
switch-group-pool

switch-group-pool { mask |
mask-length
} [ acl acl-number ]

By default, no switch-group-pool is
configured and multicast traffic is

never switched to a switch-MDT.

4.

Configure the switch-delay

period.

multicast-domain switch-delay
switch-delay

Optional.
5 seconds by default.

5.

Configure the
switch-holddown period.

multicast-domain holddown-time
interval

Optional.
60 seconds by default.

Enabling switch-group reuse logging

For a given VPN, if the number of VPN multicast streams to be switched to switch-MDTs exceeds the

number of addresses in the switch-group-pool, the VPN instance on the source-side PE device can reuse

the addresses in the address pool. With switch-group reuse logging enabled, the address reuse

information will be logged.

Configuration guidelines

Attributed to the MD module, the group address reuse logging information has a severity level of

informational. For more information about the logging information, see Network Management and

Monitoring Configuration Guide.

With switch-group reuse logging enabled, the generated group address reuse logging information

will be sent to the information center, where you can configure the rules for outputting the logging
information. For more information about the configuration of the information center, see Network

Management and Monitoring Configuration Guide.
