Configuring MSDP Peers on RPs

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. (Optional) Run peer peer-address mesh-group name

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

   

   If only two routers are configured with Anycast-RP, this configuration is not necessary.

   • 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 group.

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

6. Run commit

   The configuration is committed.
