Configuring basic MSDP functions

NOTE:

All the configuration tasks should be carried out on RPs in PIM-SM domains, and each of these RPs acts as
an MSDP peer.

Configuration prerequisites

Before you configure 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.

Determine the IP addresses of MSDP peers.

Determine the address prefix list for an RP address filtering policy.

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.
