Specifying An Msdp Peer - HP FlexNetwork 7500 Series Configuration Manual

Specifying an MSDP peer

An MSDP peering relationship is identified by an address pair (the addresses of the local MSDP peer
and the remote MSDP peer). To create an MSDP peering connection, you must perform the following
operation on both devices that are a pair of MSDP peers.
If an MSDP peer and a BGP or MBGP peer share the same interface, configure the same IP address
for the MSDP peer and the BGP or MBGP peer as a best practice.
To specify an MSDP peer:
Step
Enter system view.
1.
Enter MSDP view.
2.
Specify an MSDP peer.
3.
Configuring a static RPF peer
This feature prevents SA messages forwarded by the static RPF peer from undertaking the RPF
check. This simplifies the RPF check mechanism for SA messages.
You can configure an RP policy for the static RPF peer to filter SA messages based on the
referenced IPv4 prefix list that specifies the RP addresses.
If only one MSDP peer is configured on a router, this MSDP peer is considered to be a static RPF
peer.
To configure a static RPF peer:
Step
Enter system view.
1.
Enter MSDP view.
2.
Configure a static RPF peer.
