Creating an MSDP peering connection

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 creation
operation on both devices that are a pair of MSDP peers.
If an MSDP peer and a BGP peer share the same interface at the same time, HP recommends that you
configure the same IP address for them.
To create an MSDP peering connection:
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Enter MSDP view.
3. Create
connection.

Configuring a static RPF peer

Configuring static RPF peers can avoid RPF check for SA messages.
If only one MSDP peer is configured on a router, this MSDP peer acts as a static RPF peer.
To configure a static RPF peer:
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Enter MSDP view.
3. Configure a static RPF peer.

Configuring an MSDP peering connection

This section describes how to configure an MSDP peering connection.

Configuration prerequisites

Before you configure an MSDP peering connection, complete the following tasks:
Configure a unicast routing protocol so that all devices in the domain are interoperable at the
•
network layer.
Configure basic MSDP functions.
•

Configuring the description for an MSDP peer

MSDP peer descriptions help administrators easily distinguish between different MSDP peers and better
manage them.
