Configuring MSDP mesh groups

24

Syntax: [no] mesh-group <group-name> <peer-address>

The sample configuration above reflects the configuration in

Figure 104

. On RP 206.251.21.31 you

specify its peers within the same domain (206.251.21.31, 206.251.17.31, and 206.251.13.31).

You first configure the MSDP peers using the msdp-peer command to assign their IP addresses
and the loopback interfaces. This information will be used as the source for sessions with the
neighbor.

Next, place the MSDP peers within a domain into a mesh group. Use the mesh-group command.
There are no default mesh groups.

The group-name parameter identifies the group. Enter up to 31 characters for group-name. You can
have up to 4 mesh groups within a multicast network. Each mesh group can include up to 32 peers.

The peer-address parameter specifies the IP address of the MSDP peer that is being placed in the
group.

NOTE

On each of the device that will be part of the mesh-group, there must be a mesh-group definition for
all the peers in the mesh-group.

Up to 32 MSDP peers can be configured per mesh group.

In

Figure 105

, devices A, B, C, and D are in Mesh Group 1234. The example configuration following

the figure shows how the devices are configured to be part of the MSDP mesh group. The example
also shows the features that need to be enabled for the MSDP mesh group to work.
