MDT tunnel0 interface down on EVE-NG IOL image

TheAnalyst

I am configuring MVPN on EVE-NG on 4 routers in full mesh topology. All the configs are done but it seems that tunnel0 interface is down and I cannot go further! MPLS is working just fine. Here are the R2 configs:
R2 and R4 are PEs. R4 config is similar to R2 with changes in IP addressing. I don't know if this is a bug in the software or a fault in my configuration.

Hi @TheAnalyst ,

1. You need to configure "ip pim sparse-mode" on the loopback interface.

2. You need to configure a multicast RP for the global context.

3. You need to configure a multicast RP for the vrf ALEX context.

I checked and I had forgotten to add pim sparse-mode to loopback interfaces (source and destination of the tunnel).

Now the problem is, the ping goes from one side to another but not from another to this one, Although I have enabled bidir!

Also at times the ping doesn't go through at all! Why? I don't know! Is this a bug or a misconfig?

Hi @TheAnalyst ,

The only pim bidir configuration I saw in what you have provided so far is the "ip pim bidir-enable". You still need to configure either static RP, auto RP or BSR. For a lab test I generally use static RP on all devices, as it only requires one command on each router and is easier to troubleshoot in a small network.

ip pim rp-address <rp address>

For more information on how to configure the RP, please refer to the following documentation:
