Configuration Prerequisites
Before configuring the basic functions of MSDP, complete the following tasks:
• Configure any unicast routing protocol so that all devices in the domain are interoperable at the
network layer.
• Configuring PIM-SM to enable intra-domain multicast forwarding.
Before configuring the basic functions of MSDP, prepare the following data:
• IP addresses of MSDP peers
• Address prefix list for an RP address filtering policy
Enabling MSDP
Follow these steps to enable MSDP on the public network:
To do... Use the command... Remarks
Enter system view system-view —
Enable IP multicast routing multicast routing-enable
Required
Disabled by default
Enable MSDP and enter public
network MSDP view
msdp
Required
Disabled by default
NOTE:
For more information about the multicast routing-enable command, see Multicast Routing and
Forwarding Commands in the IP Multicast Volume.
Creating an MSDP Peer Connection
An MSDP peering relationship is identified by an address pair, namely the address of the local MSDP
peer and that of the remote MSDP peer. An MSDP peer connection must be created on both devices that
are a pair of MSDP peers.
Follow these steps to create an MSDP peer connection:
To do... Use the command... Remarks
Enter system view system-view —
Enter public network MSDP view msdp —
Create an MSDP peer connection
peer peer-address
connect-interface interface-type
interface-number
Required
No MSDP peer connection
created by default
NOTE:
If an interface of the router is shared by an MSDP peer and a BGP/MBGP peer at the same time,
we recommend that you use the IP address of the BGP/MBGP peer as the IP address of the for the
MSDP peer.
