Edge Multicast Feature Template

The SD-WAN multicast overlay extends PIM-SSM across the SD-WAN using OMP, integrating PIM in customer VPNs with overlay multicast management. This implementation creates a secure, optimized multicast tree over the SD-WAN overlay, supporting IGMPv2 and IGMPv3 for efficient native multicast extension.

Examples

Example-1: The following example demonstrates how to configure a multicast configuration across supported Catalyst SD-WAN edge devices. It enables local replicator functionality to improve multicast efficiency and sets a threshold limit of 20 to control multicast behavior within the network.
