Tag :: Multicast Routing

IPv4 and IPv6 multicast routing, private VLANs, and egress VLAN translation are supported on EOS, but on prior releases and on certain platforms they did not work correctly when used in combination.  In those cases, routed multicast packets that egress on an interface with VLAN translation or on a private VLAN would not egress on the correct VLAN.  The configured VLAN translation or private VLAN would not be applied.

Multicast VRF leak allows multicast traffic from a sender in one domain or VRF to be forwarded to a different domain or VRF, in which the receivers are connected. In the rest of this document, the VRF to which the multicast sender belongs to is referred to as the “source VRF” and the VRF that the multicast receiver belongs to is referred to as the “receiver VRF”.
