Configuring Intra-AS MSDP Peers

If multiple PIM-SM domains exist in an AS or multiple Rendezvous Points (RPs) serving different multicast groups exist in a PIM-SM domain, configure MSDP peer relationships between RPs (including static RPs and Candidate-Rendezvous Points (C-RPs)) and add all MSDP peers to the same mesh group.

Procedure

  1. Run system-view

    The system view is displayed.

  2. Run msdp [ vpn-instance vpn-instance-name ]

    The MSDP view is displayed.

  3. Run peer peer-address connect-interface interface-type interface-number

    An MSDP peer connection is set up.

    • peer-address: specifies the IP address of a remote MSDP peer.

    • interface-type interface-number: specifies the local interface connected with the remote MSDP peer.

  4. (Optional) Run peer peer-address description text

    A description is added for the remote MSDP peer.

    This configuration helps you differentiate remote MSDP peers and manage the connections with the remote MSDP peers.

    • peer-address: specifies the IP address of a remote MSDP peer.

    • text: specifies the description text. The text is a string of a maximum of 80 characters.

  5. Run peer peer-address mesh-group name

    The remote MSDP peer is added to a mesh group. That is, the remote MSDP peer is acknowledged as a member of the mesh group.

    • peer-address: specifies the IP address of a remote MSDP peer.

    • name: specifies the name of a mesh group. The members of the same mesh group use the same mesh group name.

    Note the following during configuration:

    • MSDP peer connections must be set up between all members of the same mesh group.

    • All members of the mesh group must acknowledge each other as a member of the mesh group.

    • An MSDP peer can belong to only one mesh group. If an MSDP peer is configured to join different mesh groups, only the latest configuration is valid.

  6. Run commit

    The configuration is committed.
