I'm pretty sure. We spent quite some time with our multicast setup in the past to understand the difference between the P and the PE routers when it comes to MVPN. Because of the ingress replication mode on the PE routers we installed dedicated PE routers for the MVPN traffic. This way we manged to keep egress replication mode on every other router in the network. >> still able to do it: >> >> #show platform software multicast ip capability > > > What happens if you "no" the command and let it go back to auto-detect mode? When you "no" that command the router simply moves from auto-detection OFF to auto-detection ON and replication mode switches from ingress to egress. _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
