When you define a p2mp connection you would probably want to keep the same mplsXCIndex for all rows in the mplsXCTable while each of the mplsOutSegmentIndex value has to be different i.e. for each row in the mplsOutSegmentTable, denoting a different out interface.

         In general, the mplsOutSegmentIndex and mplsXCIndex values are 
defined as
two unsigned 32-bit quantities that are chosen by the implementation (or 
manager
if allowing writes).  In my case, we implemented the outSegmentIndex to be 
the same as the
XCIndex to make our implementation easier. There is by no means any requirement
in the MIB that mandates that these two 32-bit quantities be the same.  If
you would like to discuss this more within the context of the Cisco 
implementation,
please contact me privately.
