Configuring an MSDP Mesh Group
An MSDP mesh group is a group of MSDP speakers that have fully meshed MSDP connectivity among one
another. Any SA messages received from a peer in a mesh group are not forwarded to other peers in the same
mesh group. Thus, you reduce SA message flooding and simplify peer-RPF flooding. Use the ip msdp
mesh-group global configuration command when there are multiple RPs within a domain. It is especially
used to send SA messages across a domain. You can configure multiple mesh groups (with different names)
in a single Device.
Follow these steps to create a mesh group:
