Because only VPN multicast traffic is forwarded between ASBRs, different PIM modes can run within
different ASs. However, the same PIM mode (PIM-DM, PIM-SM, BIDIR-PIM, or PIM-SSM) must run on all
interfaces that belong to the same VPN (including interfaces with VPN bindings on ASBRs).
Multi-hop EBGP interconnectivity
As shown in
, a VPN network involves AS 1 and AS 2. PE 3 and PE 4 are the ASBRs for AS 1
and AS 2, respectively. PE 3 and PE 4 are interconnected through their respective public network
instance and treat each other as a P device.

Multi-hop EBGP interconnectivity
By using this method, only one MD needs to be established for all the ASs, and public network multicast
traffic between different ASs is transmitted within this MD.

Configuring MD-VPN
This section describes how to configure MD-VPN.
Configuration prerequisites
Before you configure MD-VPN, complete the following tasks:
•
Configure any unicast routing protocol to provide intra-domain interoperability at the network layer.
•
Configure MPLS L3VPN.
•
Configure PIM (PIM-DM, PIM-SM, BIDIR-PIM, or PIM-SSM).
•
Determine the VPN instance names and route distinguishers (RDs).
