msdp

Function

The msdp command enables the Multicast Source Discovery Protocol (MSDP) and displays the MSDP view of the public network instance or the VPN instance.

The undo msdp command clears all configurations in the MSDP view, releases resources occupied by MSDP, and restores the initial state.

By default, MSDP is not enabled.

Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

MSDP peer parameters can be configured only after MSDP is enabled, and MSDP peer parameters can be configured only in the MSDP view. To enable MSDP and enter the MSDP view, run the msdp command.

Prerequisites

The multicast routing function has been enabled using the multicast routing-enable command in the public network instance view or VPN instance view.

Configuration Impact

Note:

Running the undo msdp command interrupts MSDP services. Therefore, exercise caution when using this command.
