Configuring MSDP
Configuring MSDP
You can establish MSDP peering by configuring the MSDP peers within each PIM domain.
1. Select the routers to act as MSDP peers.
2. Enable the MSDP feature.
3. Configure the MSDP peers for each router identified in Step 1.
4. Configure the optional MSDP peer parameters for each MSDP peer.
5. Configure the optional global parameters for each MSDP peer.
6. Configure the optional mesh groups for each MSDP peer.
Note
The MSDP commands that you enter before you enable MSDP are cached and then run when MSDP is enabled.
Use the ip msdp peer or ip msdp originator-id command to enable MSDP.
Note
If you are familiar with the Cisco IOS CLI, be aware that the Cisco NX-OS commands for this feature might
differ from the Cisco IOS commands that you would use.
