MSDP configuration task list
Configuring basic MSDP features:
• (Required.) Enabling MSDP
• (Required.) Specifying an MSDP peer
• (Optional.) Configuring a static RPF peer
Configuring an MSDP peering connection:
• (Optional.) Configuring a description for an MSDP peer
• (Optional.) Configuring an MSDP mesh group
• (Optional.) Controlling MSDP peering connections
Configuring SA message-related parameters:
• (Optional.) Enabling multicast data encapsulation in SA messages
• (Optional.) Configuring the originating RP of SA messages
• (Optional.) Configuring SA request messages
• (Optional.) Configuring SA message policies
• (Optional.) Configuring the SA cache mechanism
Configuring basic MSDP features
All the configuration tasks in this section should be performed on RPs in PIM-SM domains, and each
of these RPs acts as an MSDP peer.
Configuration prerequisites
Before you configure basic MSDP features, complete the following tasks:
Configure a unicast routing protocol so that all devices in the domain can interoperate at the
network layer.
Configure PIM-SM to enable intra-domain multicast.
Enabling MSDP
1. Enter system view.
system-view
N/A
2. Enable IP multicast routing
and enter MRIB view.
