BD Multicast address pool using Multi-Site

[Fernando Hernández]

Hello guys.

I would like to know if when creating the fabrics on a Multi-Site environment, is it possible to use the same BD Multicast pool on both sides or should it be different?
Planning on using the same 225.0.0.0/15 range on both sides.

Hi @Fernando Hernández ,

Yes it is. I have done it.  When multicasts go from one site to the other they end up at the O-MTEP (Overlay-Multicast Tunnel End Point) of the other site and placed on the appropriate Multicast Tree for that site.

I hope this helps.

Nice.
We did it on a lab environment, but wanted to be sure cause now we are going to do it on a real productive environment.

Thanks for the help.
