[j-nsp] Multicast Traffic over L2VPN

[Harry Reynolds]

Yes, I believe for L2 mcast should just work. This assumes the mcast is not using some reserved MAC value such as that used by spanning tree, which if not in a L2 port mode might be consumed locally, rather than transported to the far end. 

Perhaps post your config (more than one type of l2 service, vpls vs. l2 ckt, for example) and folks can comment.

Hi there..

 

I'm confused about something and wanted to ask the list for help..;)

 

Is there anything special required to carry multicast traffic across a L2VPN path?  We have a situation where multicast isn't working properly and there's a L2VPN path in the middle.  I have found lots of documentation on layer 3 VPN's in Juniper and all the steps involved to bring that up . but with a layer2 VPN does this not just pass through?

 

Sorry if this seems like a basic question - my love for multicast is pretty limited.

 

Paul
