MPLS, Multicast and CSM

[c.monteiro]

Hi Folks!

I'd like to know if is it possible to forward MPLS and Multicast traffic through a CSM ?

Gilles, Id like to see your comments about it.

thanks in advance !

I did the test and it works but only in bridge mode.

I could establish ospf through the CSM between 2 routers configured for mpls.

OSPF comes up - so multicast can go through the csm.

I could form TDP adjecency and learn all the tags.

Then I sent some traffic in mpls and it went through the csm.

The CSM does not understand the mpls traffic, it is just passing it through like a L2 switch.

Again, this requires the use of bridge mode.

This does not work in routing/secure mode.

Regards.

Gilles.
