### Performance Measurement #### Interface delay metric dynamic configuration Starting with CST 3.5 we now support end to end dynamic link delay measurements across all IOS-XR nodes. The feature in IOS-XR is called Performance Measurement and all configuration is found under the performance-measurement configuration hierarchy. There are a number of configuration options utilized when configuring performance measurement, but the below configuration will enable one-way delay measurements on physical links. The probe measurement-mode options are either one-way or two-way. One-way mode requires nodes be time synchronized to a common PTP clock, and should be used if available. In the absence of a common PTP clock source, two-way mode can be used which calculates the one-way delay using multiple timestamps at the querier and responder. The advertisement options specify when the advertisements are made into the IGP. The periodic interval sets the minimum interval, with the threshold setting the difference required to advertise a new delay value. The accelerated threshold option sets a percentage change required to trigger and advertisement prior to the periodic interval timer expiring. Performance measurement takes a series of measurements within each computation interval and uses this information to derive the min, max, and average link delay. Full documentation on Performance Measurement can be found at:

#### Interface delay metric static configuration In the absence of dynamic realtime one-way latency monitoring for physical interfaces, the interface delay can be set manually. The one-way delay measurement value is used when computing SR Policy paths with the "latency" constraint type. The configured value is advertised in the IGP using extensions defined in RFC 7810, and advertised to the PCE using BGP-LS extensions. Keep in mind the delay metric value is defined in microseconds, so if you are mixing dynamic computation with static values they should be set appropriately.

### IOS-XR SR-MPLS Transport #### Segment Routing SRGB and SRLB Definition It's recommended to first configure the Segment Routing Global Block (SRGB) across all nodes needing connectivity between each other. In most instances a single SRGB will be used across the entire network. In a SR MPLS deployment the SRGB and SRLB correspond to the label blocks allocated to SR. IOS-XR has a maximum configurable SRGB limit of 512,000 labels, however please consult platform-specific documentation for maximum values. The SRLB corresponds to the labels allocated for SIDs local to the node, such as Adjacency-SIDs. It is recommended to configure the same SRLB block across all nodes. The SRLB must not overlap with the SRGB. The SRGB and SRLB are configured in IOS-XR with the following configuration:
segment-routing
 global-block 16000 23999
 local-block 15000 15999

#### IS-IS router configuration All routers, except Area Border Routers (ABRs), are part of one IGP domain and L2 area (ISIS-ACCESS or ISIS-CORE). Area border routers run two IGP IS-IS processes (ISIS-ACCESS and ISIS-CORE). Note that Loopback0 is part of both IGP processes.

### Unnumbered Interfaces IS-IS and Segment Routing/SR-TE utilized in the Converged SDN Transport design supports using unnumbered interfaces. SR-PCE used to compute inter-domain SR-TE paths also supports the use of unnumbered interfaces. In the topology database each interface is uniquely identified by a combination of router ID and SNMP IfIndex value. **Unnumbered interface configuration**

#### Anycast SID ABR node configuration Anycast SIDs are SIDs existing on two more ABR nodes to offer a redundant fault tolerant path for traffic between Access PEs and remote PE devices. In CST 3.5 and above, anycast SID paths can either be manually configured on the head-end or computed by the SR-PCE. When SR-PCE computes a path it will inspect the topology database to ensure the next SID in the computed segment list is reachable from all anycast nodes. If not, the anycast SID will not be used. The same IP address and prefix-sid must be configured on all shared anycast nodes, with the n-flag clear option set. Note when anycast SID path computation is used with SR-PCE, only IGP metrics are supported. **IS-IS Configuration for Anycast SID**

**Conditional IGP Loopback advertisement** While not the only use case for conditional advertisement, it is a required component when using anycast SIDs with static segment list. Conditional advertisement will not advertise the Loopback interface if certain routes are not found in the RIB. If the anycast Loopback is withdrawn, the segment list will be considered invalid on the head-end node. The conditional prefixes should be all or a subset of prefixes from the adjacent IGP domain.

#### IS-IS logical interface configuration with TI-LFA It is recommended to use manual adjacency SIDs. A _protected_ SID is eligible for backup path computation, meaning if a packet ingresses the node with the label a backup path will be provided in case of a link failure. In the case of having multiple adjacencies between the same two nodes, use the same adjacency-sid on each link. Unnumbered interfaces are configured using the same configuration.

#### Segment Routing Data Plane Monitoring In CST 3.5 we introduce SR DPM across all IOS-XR platforms. SR DPM uses MPLS OAM mechanisms along with specific SID lists in order to exercise the dataplane of the originating node, detecting blackholes typically difficult to diagnose. SR DPM ensures the nodes SR-MPLS forwarding plane is valid without a drop in traffic towards adjacent nodes and other nodes in the same IGP domain. SR DPM is a proactive approach to blackhole detection and mitigation. SR DPM first performs interface adjacency checks by sending an MPLS OAM packet to adjacent nodes using the interface adjacency SID and its own node SID in the SID list. This ensures the adjacent node is sending traffic back to the node correctly. Once this connectivity is verified, SR DPM will then test forwarding to all other node SIDs in the IGP domain across each adjacency. This is done by crafting a MPLS OAM packet with SID list {Adj-SID, Target Node SID} with TTL=2. The packet is sent to the adjacent node, back to the SR DPM testing node, and then onto the target node via SR-MPLS forwarding. The downstream node towards the target node will receive the packet with TTL=0 and send an MPLS OAM response to the SR DPM originating node. This communicates valid forwarding across the originating node towards the target node. ![](https://xrdocs.io/design/images/cmfi/cst-ig-srdpm.png) It is recommended to enable SR DPM on all CST IOS-XR nodes. **SR Data Plane Monitoring Configuration**

#### MPLS Segment Routing Traffic Engineering (SR-TE) TE metric configuration The TE metric is used when computing SR Policy paths with the "te" or "latency" constraint type. The TE metric is carried as a TLV within the TE opaque LSA distributed across the IGP area and to the PCE via BGP-LS. The TE metric is used in the CST 5G Transport use case. If no TE metric is defined the local CSPF or PCE will utilize the IGP metric.

### IOS-XR SR Flexible Algorithm Configuration Segment Routing Flexible Algorithm offers a way to to easily define multiple logical network topologies satisfying a specific network constraint. Flex-Algo definitions must first be configured in each IGP domain on all nodes participating in Flex-Algo. By default, all nodes participate in Algorithm 0, mapping to "use lowest IGP metric" path computation. In the CST design, ABR nodes must have Flex-Algo definitions in both IS-IS instances if an inter-domain path is required. #### Flex-Algo IS-IS Definition Each Flex-Algo is defined on the nodes participating in the Flex-Algo. In this configuration IS-IS is configured to advertise the definition network wide. This is not required on each node in the domain, only a single node needs to advertise the definition, but there is no downside to having each node advertise the definition. In this case we are also defining a link affinity to be used in the 131 Flex-Algo. The same affinity-map must be used on all nodes in the IGP domain. The link affinity is configured under specific interfaces in the IS-IS interface configuration as shown with interface TenGigE0/0/0/20 below. The configuration for 131 is set to exclude links matching the "red" affinity, so any path utilizing Flex-Algo 131 as a constraint will not utilize the TenGigE0/0/0/20 path. The Flex-Algo link affinity is applied to both local and remote interfaces matching the affinity. Also note non-Flex-Algo configuration can utilize link affinities, which are defined under segment-routing->traffic-engineering->interface->affinity. As of CST 4.0, delay is the only metric-type supported. Utilizing the delay metric-type for a Flex-Algo will ensure a path will utilize only the lowest delay path, even if a single destination SID is referenced in the SR-TE path.

#### Flex-Algo Node SID Configuration Flex-Algo works by allocating a globally unique node SID referencing the algorithm on each node participating in the Flex-Algo topology. This requires additional Node SID configuration on the Loopback0 interface for each router. The following is an example for a node participating in four different Flex-Algo domains in addition to the default Algo 0 domain, covered by the base Node SID configuration. Each SID belongs to the same global SRGB.

### Area Border Routers (ABRs) IPv4/IPv6 route distribution using BGP The ABR nodes must provide IP reachability for RRs, SR-PCEs and NSO between ISIS-ACCESS and ISIS-CORE IGP domains. One use case is SR Tree-SID, which requires all nodes have a PCEP session to a single SR-PCE. The recommended method to achieve reachability to nodes in the Core domain from access domain routers is to utilize BGP to advertise the Loopback addresses of specific nodes to the ABR nodes, and use either BGP to IGP redistribution or IPv4/IPv6 Unicast BGP between ABR and access nodes to distribute those routes. If unicast BGP is used, the ABR nodes will act as inline Route Reflectors. Reachability to the access routers from the core routes is provided by advertising access domain aggregate routes from each access domain via BGP to core nodes requiring them. If the core element such as SR-PCE is a router, SR-MPLS and BGP can enabled, with the ABRs advertising the aggregates directly. If the element is not a router, then the router it is connected to will receive and advertise BGP prefixes to establish end to end connectivity. The following is an example from one ABR node and one SR-PCE node. #### Core SR-PCE BGP Configuration The following configuration is for SR-PCE with Loopback 101.0.0.100. 101.0.0.3 and 101.0.0.4 are ABRs for one access domain, 101.0.1.1 and 101.0.1.2 the other. The optional route policies are used as a strict check to make sure only the proper routes are being received.

#### ABR BGP Configuration In this example the ABR node advertises the aggregate 100.0.1.0/24 covering A-PE loopback addresses in the Access-1 IGP domain to the core SR-PCE node. It uses the IPv4 unicast AFI to advertise the SR-PCE Loopback prefix to the A-PE nodes. Route policies are used to restrict the prefixes advertised in both directions.

### *Deprecated* Area Border Routers (ABRs) IGP-ISIS Redistribution configuration (IOS-XR) _Note the following is for historical reference and has been deprecated, IGP redistribution is not recommended for production deployments_ The ABR nodes must provide IP reachability for RRs, SR-PCEs and NSO between ISIS-ACCESS and ISIS-CORE IGP domains. This is done by IP prefix redistribution. The ABR nodes have static hold-down routes for the block of IP space used in each domain across the network, those static routes are then redistributed into the domains using the _redistribute static_ command with a route-policy. The distance command is used to ensure redistributed routes are not preferred over local IS-IS routes on the opposite ABR. The distance command must be applied to both ABR nodes.

## Multicast transport using mLDP ### Overview This portion of the implementation guide instructs the user how to configure mLDP end to end across the multi-domain network. Multicast service examples are given in the "Services" section of the implementation guide. ### mLDP core configuration In order to use mLDP across the Converged SDN Transport network LDP must first be enabled. There are two mechanisms to enable LDP on physical interfaces across the network, LDP auto-configuration or manually under the MPLS LDP configuration context. The capabilities statement will ensure LDP unicast FECs are not advertised, only mLDP FECs. Recursive forwarding is required in a multi-domain network. mLDP must be enabled on all participating A-PE, PE, AG, PA, and P routers. #### LDP base configuration with defined interfaces

## G.8275.1 and G.8275.2 PTP (1588v2) timing configuration ### Summary This section contains the base configurations used for both G.8275.1 and G.8275.2 timing. Please see the CST HLD for an overview on timing in general. G.8275.1 is the preferred method for end to end timing if possible since it provides the most accurate clock and has no limitations on interface type used for PTP peers. G.8275.1 to G.8275.2 interworking can be used on edge nodes to provide timing to devices requiring G.8275.2. ![](http://xrdocs.io/design/images/cmfi/cmf-timing.png) ### Enable frequency synchronization In order to lock the internal oscillator to a PTP source, frequency synchronization must first be enabled globally.

### Optional Synchronous Ethernet configuration (PTP hybrid mode) If the end-to-end devices support SyncE it should be enabled. SyncE will allow much faster frequency sync and maintain integrity for long periods of time during holdover events. Using SyncE for frequency and PTP for phase is known as "Hybrid" mode. A lower priority is used on the SyncE input (50 for SyncE vs. 100 for PTP).

### PTP G.8275.2 global timing configuration As of CST 3.0, IOS-XR supports a single PTP timing profile and single clock type in the global PTP configuration. The clock domain should follow the ITU-T guidelines for specific profiles using a domain >44 for G.8275.2 clocks.

### PTP G.8275.2 interface profile definitions It is recommended to use "profiles" defined globally which are then applied to interfaces participating in timing. This helps minimize per-interface timing configuration. It is also recommended to define different profiles for "master" and "slave" interfaces. #### IPv4 G.8275.2 master profile The master profile is assigned to interfaces for which the router is acting as a boundary clock

### Application of PTP profile to physical interface **Note:** In CST 3.0 PTP may only be enabled on physical interfaces. G.8275.1 operates at L2 and supports PTP across Bundle member links and interfaces part of a bridge domain. G.8275.2 operates at L3 and does not support Bundle interfaces. #### G.8275.2 interface configuration This example is of a slave device using a master of 2405:10:23:253::0.

### G.8275.1 and G.8275.2 Multi-Profile and Interworking In CST 4.0 and IOS-XR 7.2.2 PTP Multi-Profile is supported, along with the ability to interwork between G.8275.1 and G.8275.2 on the same router. This allows a node to run one timing profile to its upstream GM peer and supply a timing reference to downstream peers using different profiles. It is recommended to use G.8275.1 as the primary profile across the network, and G.8275.2 to peers who only support the G.8275.2 profile, such as Remote PHY Devices. The interworking feature is enabled on the client interface which has a different profile from the primary node profile. The domain must be specified along with the interop mode. #### G.8275.1 Primary to G.8275.2 Configuration

## BGP - Services (sRR) and Transport (tRR) route reflector configuration ### Services Route Reflector (sRR) configuration In the CST validation a sRR is used to reflect all service routes. In a production network each service could be allocated its own sRR based on resiliency and scale demands. In CST 5.0 (XR 7.5.2) and higher versions we will utilize the BGP soft next-hop validation feature to accept service prefixes without a BGP next-hop residing in the RIB.

## BGP-LU co-existence BGP configuration CST 3.0 introduced co-existence between services using BGP-LU and SR endpoints. If you are using SR and BGP-LU within the same domain it requires using BGP-SR in order to resolve prefixes correctly on the each ABR. BGP-SR uses a new BGP attribute attached to the BGP-LU prefix to convey the SR prefix-sid index end to end across the network. Using the same prefix-sid index both within the SR-MPLS IGP domain and across the BGP-LU network simplifies the network from an operational perspective since the path to an end node can always be identified by that SID. It is recommended to enable the BGP-SR configuration when enabling SR on the PE node. See the PE configuration below for an example of this configuration. #### Segment Routing Global Block Configuration The BGP process must know about the SRGB in order to properly allocate local BGP-SR labels when receiving a BGP-LU prefix with a BGP-SR index community. This is done via the following configuration. If a SRGB is defined under the IGP it must match the global SRGB value. The IGP will inherit this SRGB value if none is previously defined.

## Area Border Routers (ABRs) IGP topology distribution Next network diagram: “BGP-LS Topology Distribution” shows how Area Border Routers (ABRs) distribute IGP network topology from ISIS ACCESS and ISIS CORE to Transport Route-Reflectors (tRRs). tRRs then reflect topology to Segment Routing Path Computation Element (SR-PCEs). Each SR-PCE has full visibility of the entire inter-domain network. **Note:** Each IS-IS process in the network requires a unique instance-id to identify itself to the PCE. ![](http://xrdocs.io/design/images/cmfi/image5.png) _Figure 5: BGP-LS Topology Distribution_

## Segment Routing Traffic Engineering (SR-TE) and Services Integration This section shows how to integrate Traffic Engineering (SR-TE) with services. ODN is configured by first defining a global ODN color associated with specific SR Policy constraints. The color and BGP next-hop address on the service route will be used to dynamically instantiate a SR Policy to the remote VPN endpoint. ### On Demand Next-Hop (ODN) configuration – IOS-XR The following is an example of the elements needed in addition to the base SR configuration. An on-demand policy must be created matching the a color to set the attributes of the SR-TE Policy. ODN does not require PCEP, but for inter-domain path computation is required. #### On-Demand Route Policies Coloring service routes requires routing policies to set a specific extended community on those routes and apply the policy during the import and export of the routes. Coloring can be performed in a policy at the BGP neighbor level or at the individual service level. The following example shows global level coloring, however it is recommended for granularity and ease of management to color routes at the service level. In CST 5.0 (XR 7.5.2) or higher ODN policies can be applied on import or export for L3VPN prefixes. EVPN Type1/3 prefixes must be applied on export. **Community Set and Routing Policy Definition**

## SR-TE Policy Configuration At the foundation of CST is the use of Segment Routing Traffic Engineering Policies. SR-TE allow providers to create end to end traffic paths with engineered constraints to achieve a SLA objective. SR-TE Policies are either dynamically created by ODN (see ODN section) or users can configure SR-TE Policies on the head-end node. ### SR-TE Color and Endpoint The components uniquely identifying a SR-TE Policy to a destination PE node are its endpoint and color. * The endpoint is the destination node loopback address. Note the endpoint address should not be an anycast address. * The color is a 32-bit value which should have a SLA meaning to the network. The color allows for multiple SR-TE Policies to exist between a pair of nodes, each one with its own set of metrics and constraints. ### SR-TE Candidate Paths * Each SR-TE Policy configured on a node must have at least one candidate path defined. * If multiple candidate paths are defined, only one is active at any one time. * The candidate path with the higher preference value is preferred over candidate paths with a lower preference value. * The candidate path configuration specifies whether the path is dynamic or uses an explicit segment list. * Within the dynamic configuration one can specify whether to use a PCE or not, the metric type used in the path computation (IGP metric, latency, TE metric, hop count), and the additional constraints placed on the path (link affinities, flex-algo constraints, or a cumulative metric of type IGP metric, latency, TE Metric, or hop count) * There is a default candidate path with a preference of 200 using head-end IGP path computation * Each candidate path can have multiple explicit segment lists defined with a bandwidth weight value to load balance traffic across multiple explicit paths ### Service to SR-TE Policy Forwarding - Per-Destination Service traffic can be forwarded over SR-TE Policies in the CST design using per-destination automated steering. Per-destination steering utilizes two BGP components of the service route to forward traffic to a matching SR Policy * A color extended community attached to the service route matching the SR Policy color * The BGP next-hop address of the service route to match the endpoint of the SR Policy ### Service to SR-TE Policy Forwarding - Per-Flow Service traffic can also be forwarded over SR-TE Policies in the CST design using per-flow automated steering. Per-flow automated steering uses the same BGP criteria as per-destination steering but also uses the CoS of the ingress packet to determine the proper SR Policy to steer traffic over. ### SR-TE and ODN Configuration Examples The following examples show SR-TE policies using persistent device configuration and the ODN policies to dynamic create the same SR Policies. #### SR Policy using IGP metric, head-end computation The local PE device will compute a path using the lowest cumulative IGP metric path to 100.0.1.50. Note in the multi-domain CST design, this computation will fail to nodes not found within the same IS-IS domain as the PE.

#### PCE delegated SR Policy including Anycast SIDs Anycast SIDs provide redundancy to hops in the SR-TE path. 1+N nodes share the same Loopback address and Node-SID. Traffic with the Anycast SID in the SID list will route to the closest node with the SID assigned based on IGP cost. The "anycast-sid-inclusion" command is required for the PCE or local computation to prefer Anycast SIDs when computing the end to end path.

#### SR Policy using explicit segment list This policy does not perform any path computation, it will utilize the statically defined segment lists as the forwarding path across the network. The node does however check the validity of the node segments in the list. Each node SID in the segment list can be defined by either IP address or SID. The full path to the egress node must be defined in the list, but you do not need to define every node explicitly in the path. If you want the path to take a specific link the correct node and adjacency SID must be defined in the list. Multiple explicit paths can be defined with a weight assigned, the ratio of weights is used to balance traffic across each explicit path.

## QoS Implementation ### Summary Please see the CST 3.0 HLD for in-depth information on design choices. ### Core QoS configuration The core QoS policies defined for CST 3.0 utilize priority levels, with no bandwidth guarantees per traffic class. In a production network it is recommended to analyze traffic flows and determine an appropriate BW guarantee per traffic class. The core QoS uses four classes. Note the "video" class uses priority level 6 since only levels 6 and 7 are supported for high priority multicast. ![](http://xrdocs.io/design/images/cmfi/cmf-qos-core.png) Traffic Type | Priority Level | Core EXP Marking | ----------|---------|----------|---------------| | Network Control | 1 | 6 | | Voice | 2 | 5 | | High Priority | 3 | 4| | Video | 6 | 2 | | Default | 0 | 0 | #### Class maps used in QoS policies Class maps are used within a policy map to match packet criteria or internal QoS markings like traffic-class or qos-group

#### Core egress MPLS EXP marking map The following policy must be applied for PE devices with MPLS-based VPN services in order for service traffic classified in a specific QoS Group to be marked. VLAN-based P2P L2VPN services will by default inspect the incoming 802.1p bits and copy those the egress MPLS EXP if no specific ingress policy overrides that behavior. Note the EXP can be set in either an ingress or egress QoS policy. This QoS example sets the EXP via the egress map.

### H-QoS configuration #### Enabling H-QoS on NCS 540 and NCS 5500 Enabling H-QoS on the NCS platforms requires the following global command and requires a reload of the device.

#### Example H-QoS policy for 5G services The following H-QoS policy represents an example QoS policy reserving 5Gbps on a sub-interface. On ingress each child class is policed to a certain percentage of the 5Gbps policer. In the egress queuing policy, shaping is used with guaranteed each class a certain amount of egress bandwidth, with high priority traffic being serviced in a low-latency queue (LLQ). #### Class maps used in ingress H-QoS policies

## Support for Time Sensitive Networking in N540-FH-CSR-SYS and N540-FH-AGG-SYS The Fronthaul family of NCS 540 routers support frame preemption based on the IEEE 802.1Qbu-2016 and Time Sensitive Networking (TSN) standards. Time Sensitive Networking (TSN) is a set of IEEE standards that addresses the timing-critical aspect of signal flow in a packet switched Ethernet network to ensure deterministic operation. TSN operates at the Ethernet layer on physical interfaces. Frames are marked with a specific QoS class (typically 7 in a device with classes 0-7) qualify as express traffic, while other classes other than control plane traffic are marked as preemptable traffic. This allows critical signaling traffic to traverse a device as quickly as possible without having to wait for lower priority frames before being transmitted on the wire. Please see the TSN configuration guide for NCS 540 Fronthaul routers at ### Time Sensitive Networking Configuration

### L2VPN EVPN E-Tree Note: ODN support for EVPN E-Tree is supported on ASR9K only in CST 3.5. Support for E-Tree across all CST IOS-XR nodes will be covered in CST 4.0 based on IOS-XR 7.2.2. In CST 3.5, if using E-Tree across multiple IGP domains, SR-TE Policies must be configured between all Root nodes and between all Root and Leaf nodes. #### IOS-XR Root Node Configuraiton

#### IOS-XR Leaf Node Configuration A single command is needed to enable leaf function for an EVI. Configuring "etree leaf" will signal to other nodes this is a leaf node. In this case we also have a L3 IRB configured within the EVI. In order to isolate the two ACs, each AC is configured with the "split-horizon group" configuration command. The BVI interface is configured with "local-proxy-arp" to intercept ARP requests between hosts on each AC. This is needed if hosts in two different ACs are using the same IP address subnet, since ARP traffic will be suppressed acrossed the ACs.

## Ethernet CFM for L2VPN service assurance Ethernet Connectivity Fault Management is an Ethernet OAM component used to validate end-to-end connectivity between service endpoints. Ethernet CFM is defined by two standards, 802.1ag and Y.1731. Within an SP network, Maintenance Domains are created based on service scope. Domains are typically separated by operator boundaries and may be nested but cannot overlap. Within each service, maintenance points can be created to verify bi-directional end to end connectivity. These are known as MEPs (Maintenance End-Point) and MIPs (Maintenance Intermediate Points). These maintenance points process CFM messages. A MEP is configured at service endpoints and has directionality where an "up" MEP faces the core of the network and a "down" MEP faces a CE device or NNI port. MIPs are optional and are created dynamically. Detailed information on Ethernet CFM configuration and operation can be found at ### Maintenance Domain configuration A Maintenance Domain is defined by a unique name and associated level. The level can be 0-7. The numerical identifier usually corresponds to the scope of the MD, where 7 is associated with CE endpoints, 6 associated with PE devices connected to a CE. Additional levels may be required based on the topology and service boundaries which occur along the end-to-end service. In this example we only a single domain and utilize level 0 for all MEPs.
ethernet cfm
 domain EVPN-VPWS-PE3-PE8 level 0
### MEP configuration for EVPN-VPWS services For L2VPN xconnect services, each service must have a MEP created on the end PE device. There are two components to defining a MEP, first defining the Ethernet CFM "service" and then defining the MEP on the physical or logical interface participating in the L2VPN xconnect service. In the following configuration the xconnect group "EVPN-VPWS-ODN-PE3" and P2P EVPN VPWS service odn-8 are already defined. The Ethernet CFM service of "odn-8" does NOT have to match the xconnect service name. The MEP crosscheck defines a remote MEP to listen for Continuity Check messages from. It does not have to be the same as the local MEP defined on the physical sub-interface (103), but for P2P services it is best practice to make them identical. This configuration will send Ethernet CFM Continuity Check (CC) messages every 1 minute to verify end to end reachability. **L2VPN configuration**

## Multicast Source Distribution using BGP Multicast AFI/SAFI The Converged SDN Transport is inherently multi-domain to increase scalability. Multicast distribution trees built across the network using either native PIM, mLDP, or SR Tree-SID require the source be known to the receiver nodes to satisfy multicast's RPF (Reverse Path Forwarding) check. The recommended way to distribute source addresses across the network is use the BGP IPv4/IPv6 multicast address family, utilizing the ABR nodes as inline RRs. In the case of MVPN the sources are distributed inside the L3VPN as VPNV4 and VPNV6 prefixes. ### Multicast BGP Configuration

## Multicast Profile 14 using mLDP and ODN L3VPN In ths service example we will implement multicast delivery across the CST network using mLDP transport for multicast and SR-MPLS for unicast traffic. L3VPN SR paths will be dynamically created using ODN. Multicast profile 14 is the "Partitioned MDT - MLDP P2MP - BGP-AD - BGP C-Mcast Signaling" Using this profile each mVPN will use a dedicated P2MP tree, endpoints will be auto-discovered using NG-MVPN BGP NLRI, and customer multicast state such as source streams, PIM, and IGMP membership data will be signaled using BGP. Profile 14 is the recommended profile for high scale and utilizing label-switched multicast (LSM) across the core. **Please note that mLDP requires an IGP path to the source PE loopback address. The CST design utilizes a multi-domain approach which normally does not advertise IGP routes across domain boundaries. If mLDP is being utilized across domains, controlled redistribution should be used to advertise the source PE loopback addresses to receiver PEs** ### Multicast core configuration The multicast "core" includes transit endpoints participating in mLDP only. See the mLDP core configuration section for details on end-to-end mLDP configuration. ### Unicast L3VPN PE configuration In order to complete an RPF check for SSM sources, unicast L3VPN configuration is required. Additionally the VRF must be defined under the BGP configuration with the NG-MVPN address families configured. In our use case we are utilizing ODN for creating the paths between L3VPN endpoints with a route-policy attached to the mVPN VRF to set a specific color on advertised routes. **ODN opaque ext-community set**

## Multicast distribution using Tree-SID with static S,G Mapping Tree-SID utilizes only Segment Routing to create and forward multicast traffic across an optimized tree. The Tree-SID tree is configured on the SR-PCE for deployment to the network. PCEP is used to instantiate the correct computed segments end to end. On the head-end source node, **Note: Tree-SID requires all nodes in the multicast distribution network to have connections to the same SR-PCE instances, please see the PCEP configuration section of the Implmentation Guide** ### Tree-SID SR-PCE Configuration #### Endpoint Set Configuration The P2MP endpoint sets are defined outside of the SR Tree-SID Policy configuration in order to be reusaable across multiple trees. This is a required step in the configuration of Tree-SID.

#### P2MP Tree-SID SR Policy Configuration This configuration defines the Tree-SID P2MP SR Policy to be used across the network. Note the name of the Tree-SID must be unique across the netowrk and referenced explicitly on all source and receiver nodes. Within the policy configuration, supported constraints can be applied during path computation of the optimized P2MP tree. Note the source address must be specified and the MPLS label used must be within the SRLB for all nodes across the network.

### Tree-SID Common Config on All Nodes #### Segment Routing Local Block While the SRLB config is covered elsewhere in this guide, it is recommended to set the values the same across the Tree-SID domain. The values shown are for demonstration only.

#### PCEP Configuration Tree-SID relies on PCE initiated segments to the node, so a session to the PCE is required for all nodes in the domain.

## Multicast distribution using fully dynamic Tree-SID In this example we will use dynamic source/receiver discovery using BGP and PCEP signaling to create the SR Tree-SID multicast distribution trees. Please see for for full descriptions of configuration and optional parameters. Note: There MUST be a BGP route to the source PE to satisfy the Tree-SID RPF check on receiver nodes. It is recommended for multicast to use the IPv4/IPv6 Multicast address family to distribute source information. Please see the section [Multicast Source Distribution using BGP Multicast AFI/SAFI](#multicast-source-distribution-using-bgp-multicast-afisafi) ### PE BGP Configuration The following is used to enable the IPv4/IPV6 MVPN AFI/SAFI globally. They address families are also added to the SvRR neighbor group.

#### Core QoS Please see the general QoS section for core-facing QoS configuration ### CIN Timing Configuration Please see the G.8275.1 and G.8275.2 timing configuration guides in this document for configuring G.8275.2 on downstream RPD interfaces. Starting in CST 4.0, PTP can be enabled on either physical L3 interfaces or BVI interfaces. PTP is not supported on Bundle Ethernet interfaces. Starting in CST 4.0 it is recommended to use G.8275.1 end to end across the timing domain, and utilize G.8275.2 on specific interfaces using the PTP Multi-Profile configuration outlined in this document. G.8275.1 allows the use of Bundle Ethernet interfaces within the CIN network. ![](http://xrdocs.io/design/images/cmf-hld/cst-hld-ptp-interworking.png) #### PTP Messaging Rates The following are recommended rate values to be used for PTP messaging. | PTP variable | IOS-XR configuration value | IOS-XE value | | ---------- | --------- | -------------- | | Announce Interval | 1 | 1 | | Announce Timeout | 5 | 5 | | Sync Frequency | 16 | -4 | | Delay Request Frequency | 16 | -4 | #### Example CBR-8 RPD DTI Profile

### Multicast configuration #### Summary We present two different configuration options based on either native multicast deployment or the use of a L3VPN to carry Remote PHY traffic. The L3VPN option shown uses Label Switched Multicast profile 14 (partitioned mLDP) however profile 6 could also be utilized. #### Global multicast configuration - Native multicast On CIN aggregation nodes all interfaces should have multicast enabled.

### RPD DHCPv4/v6 relay configuration In order for RPDs to self-provision DHCP relay must be enabled on all RPD-facing L3 interfaces. In IOS-XR the DHCP relay configuration is done in its own configuration context without any configuration on the interface itself. #### Native IP / Default VRF
dhcp ipv4
 profile rpd-dhcpv4 relay
  helper-address vrf default 10.0.2.3
 !
 interface BVI100 relay profile rpd-dhcpv4

### cBR-8 DPIC interface configuration with Link HA When using Link HA faster convergence is achieved when each DPIC interface is placed into a BVI with a statically assigned MAC address. Each DPIC interface is placed into a separate bridge-domain with a unique BVI L3 interface. The same MAC address should be utilized on all BVI interfaces. Convergence using BVI interfaces is <50ms, L3 physical interfaces is 1-2s. **Even DPIC port CIN interface configuration**

### RPD/DPIC agg device IS-IS configuration The standard IS-IS configuration should be used on all core interfaces with the addition of specifying all DPIC and RPD connected as IS-IS passive interfaces. Using passive interfaces is preferred over redistributing connected routes. This configuration is needed for reachability between DPIC and RPDs across the CIN network.

### cBR-8 Segment Routing Configuration In the CST 4.0 design we introduce Segment Routing on the cBR-8. Configuration of SR on the cBR-8 follows the configuration on other IOS-XE devices. This configuration guide covers only IGP SR-MPLS, and not SR-TE configuration. This allows the cBR-8 to send/receive traffic from other SR-MPLS nodes within the same IGP domain. The cBR-8 can also utilize these paths for BGP next-hop resolution for Global Routing Table (GRT) and BSOD L2VPN/L3VPN services. The following example configuration is for the SUP connection via IS-IS to the provider network, SR is not supported on DPIC interfaces. IS-IS Configuration
