Configuring MSDP Peers

Step 4
Configuring MSDP Peers
You can configure an MSDP peer when you configure a peering relationship with each MSDP peer that resides
either within the current PIM domain or in another PIM domain. MSDP is enabled on the router when you
configure the first MSDP peering relationship.
Before you begin
Ensure that you have installed the Enterprise Services license and enabled PIM and MSDP.
Ensure that you configured PIM in the domains of the routers that you will configure as MSDP peers.

Repeat Step 2 for each MSDP peering
relationship by changing the peer IP address,
the interface, and the AS number as appropriate.

switch# show ip msdp summary
Purpose
(Optional) Saves configuration changes.
Purpose
Enters global configuration mode.
Configures an MSDP peer with the specified
peer IP address. The software uses the source
IP address of the interface for the TCP
connection with the peer. The interface can take
the form of type slot/port. If the AS number is
the same as the local AS, then the peer is within
the PIM domain; otherwise, this peer is external
to the PIM domain. By default, MSDP peering
is disabled.
Note MSDP peering is enabled when you
use this command.
