Example 1

Here is an explanation of the provided VXLAN underlay multicast data model:

rendezvous_points: 2, specifies the number of rendezvous points (RPs) used in the multicast domain. RPs are multicast routers that act as meeting points for multicast sources and receivers. You can have two or four RPs.
rp_mode: asm, Sets the RP mode to ASM (Any-Source Multicast), which allows receivers to receive multicast traffic from any source.
ipv4.group_subnet: 239.1.1.0/25, defines the IPv4 multicast group subnet used for VXLAN underlay multicast traffic.
ipv4.authentication_enable: false, indicates that multicast authentication is disabled for IPv4.
ipv4.trm_enable: true, enables the Tenant Routed Multicast (TRM) feature for IPv4 multicast, which helps manage multicast distribution trees.
ipv4.trm_default_group: 239.1.1.0, specifies the default Underlay Multicast group IPv4 address assigned for every overlay VRF
ipv6.group_subnet: ff1e::/121, defines the IPv6 multicast group subnet for VXLAN underlay multicast traffic.
ipv6.trmv6_enable: true, enables the Tenant Routed Multicast feature for IPv6 multicast.
ipv6.trmv6_default_group: "ff1e::", specifies the default Underlay Multicast group IPv6 address assigned for every overlay VRF
mvpn_vri_id_range, defines the MVPN (Multicast VPN) Virtual Routing Instance ID range used for L3VNI multicast routing. Valid range: 1-65535. Required when enable_mvpn_vri_id_range is true in the global fabric configuration. The to value is optional; if omitted, only the from value is used as a single VRI ID.

      mvpn_vri_id_range:
        from: 2000
        to: 2999

Starting with release 0.4.3, you can assign IPv4 addresses for the Anycast RP in the underlay. In this case, you must configure the IP address used for the Rendezvous Point (RP).
