source

Use source to specify an MVPN source interface.

Use undo source to restore the default.

Syntax

source interface-type interface-number

undo source

Default

No MVPN source interface is specified.

Views

MVPN IPv4 address family view

MVPN IPv6 address family view

Predefined user roles

network-admin

mdc-admin

Parameters

interface-type interface-number: Specifies an interface by its type and number.

Usage guidelines

For the PE device to obtain correct routing information, you must specify the interface used for establishing BGP peer relationship as the MVPN source interface.

For an MVPN that transmits both IPv4 and IPv6 multicast packets, you must specify the same MVPN source interface in MVPN IPv4 and IPv6 address family views.

Examples

# In MVPN IPv4 address family view and IPv6 address family view of VPN instance mvpn, specify Loopback 1 as the MVPN source interface. (Loopback 1 is the source interface used for establishing BGP peer relationship.)

<Sysname> system-view
