Configuring MBGP
These commands increase the maximum number of multicast routes supported, save the
configuration change to the startup-config file, and reload the software to place the change into
effect.
Syntax: [no] ip max-mroute num
The num parameter specifies the number of multicast routes and can be from 1024 – 153,600.
To define the maximum number of multicast routes for a specified VRF, use the following
commands.
Brocade(config)# vrf blue
Brocade(config-vrf-blue)# ip max-mroute
Syntax: [no] vrf vrf-name
Syntax: [no] ip max-mroute num
The vrf parameter specifies the virtual routing instance (VRF) specified by the variable vrf-name
The num parameter specifies the number of multicast routes. This value can range from 1024 to
the maximum routes supported by the system, subject to a maximum of 153,600 routes.
Enabling MBGP
To make use of MBGP4, you must enable PIM SM or DM and BGP4. Enter commands such as the
following.
Brocade> enable
Brocade# configure terminal
Brocade(config)# router pim
Brocade(config)# interface ethernet 1/1
Brocade(config-if-1/1)# ip address 10.1.1.1/24
Brocade(config-if-1/1)# ip pim
Brocade(config-if-1/1)# exit
Brocade(config)# router bgp
BGP4: Please configure 'local-as' parameter in order to enable BGP4.
Brocade(config-bgp)# local-as 10
NOTE
For IPv6 address family, make sure you enter the IPv6 versions of the commands.
The commands in this example configure PIM DM globally and on port 1/1, then enable BGP4.
Once you enable PIM DM or PIM SM both globally and on the individual RPF interfaces, and enable
BGP4, support for MBGP is automatically enabled.
Once MBGP is enabled, MBGP parameters are configured under the IPv4 multicast address family.
Enter the following command to enter the IPv4 multicast address family level.
Brocade(config-bgp)#address-family ipv4 multicast
Brocade(config-bgp-ipv4m)#
Syntax: [no] address-family ipv4 multicast
To enable MBGP for IPv6, enter the following command.
Brocade(config-bgp)#address-family ipv6 multicast
Brocade(config-bgp-ipv6m)#
Syntax: [no] address-family ipv6 multicast
