Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

A TCP connection needs to be set up between two MSDP peers. The peer with a larger IP address listens to port 639, and the peer with a smaller IP address initiates a connection. If the connection setup fails, the peer retries connection setup after a specified interval.

A TCP connection needs to be established between MSDP peers in one of the following situations:

An MSDP peer is created.
A disconnected MSDP peer needs to be reconnected
A faulty MSDP peer attempts to restore work.

You can run the timer retry command to adjust the interval for retrying to set up an MSDP peer relationship.

Prerequisites

MSDP has been enabled using the msdp command.
