 PIM EVPN configuration
 ======================
-To use PIM in the underlay for overlay BUM forwarding associate a
-multicast group with the L2 VNI. The actual configuration is based
-on your distribution. Here is an ifupdown2 example -
-auto vx-10100
-iface vx-10100
-	vxlan-id 10100
-	bridge-access 100
-	vxlan-local-tunnelip 27.0.0.11
-	vxlan-mcastgrp 239.1.1.100 >>>>>>>>
-PIM will see the vxlan configuration and auto configure state to properly
-forward BUM traffic.

 - Enable pim on the underlay L3 interface via the "ip pim" command.
 - Configure RPs for the BUM multicast group range.
 - Ensure the PIM is enabled on the lo of the VTEPs and the RP.
