Configuring VLT Multicast

To enable and configure VLT multicast, follow these steps.

  1. Enable VLT on a switch, then configure a VLT domain and enter VLT-domain configuration mode.
    CONFIGURATION mode
    vlt domain domain-id
  2. Enable peer-routing.
    VLT DOMAIN mode
    peer-routing
  3. Configure the multicast peer-routing timeout.
    VLT DOMAIN mode
    multicast peer-routing—timeout value
    value: Specify a value (in seconds) from 1 to 1200.
    NOTE Reduce the multicast peer-routing-timeout value to 10 seconds to clear the (S,G) entry in mroute in primary VLT peer. Also, the MLD leave packet must be sent after the unicast route convergence.
  4. Configure a PIM-SM compatible VLT node as a designated router (DR). For more information, refer to Configuring a Designated Router.
  5. Configure a PIM-enabled external neighboring router as a rendezvous point (RP). For more information, refer to Configuring a Static Rendezvous Point.
  6. Configure the VLT VLAN routing metrics to prefer VLT VLAN interfaces over non-VLT VLAN interfaces. For more information, refer to Classify Traffic.
  7. Configure symmetrical Layer 2 and Layer 3 configurations on both VLT peers for any spanned VLAN.
