Configuring the SPBM multicast replication mode on BEBs

SPBM supports head-end replication and tandem replication for broadcast, multicast, and unknown unicast traffic.

Head-end replication is suitable for service instances that have sparse multicast traffic. Tandem replication is suitable for service instances that have dense multicast traffic.

Multicast replication mode must be the same across all BEBs.
