Configuring Multicast Source Discovery Protocol (MSDP)
1
Enabling MSDP for a specified VRF
The vrf parameter allows you to configure MSDP on the virtual routing instance (VRF) specified by
the vrf-name variable. All MSDP parameters available for the default router instance are
configurable for a VRF-based MSDP instance.
To enable MSDP for the VRF named “blue”, enter the following commands.
Brocade(config)# router msdp vrf blue
Brocade(config-msdp-router-vrf-blue)
Syntax: [no] router msdp [vrf vrf-name]
The vrf parameter allows you to configure MSDP on the virtual routing instance (VRF) specified by
the vrf-name variable.
Entering a no router msdp vrf command removes the MSDP configuration from the specified VRF
only.
Configuring MSDP peers
To configure an MSDP peer, enter a command such as the following at the MSDP configuration
level.
Brocade(config-msdp-router)# msdp-peer 205.216.162.1
To configure an MSDP peer on a VRF, enter the following commands at the MSDP VRF configuration
level.
Brocade(config)# router msdp vrf blue
Brocade(config-msdp-router-vrf-blue)# msdp-peer 205.216.162.1
Syntax: [no] msdp-peer ip-addr [connect-source loopback num]
The ip-addr parameter specifies the IP address of the neighbor.
The connect-source loopback num parameter specifies the loopback interface you want to use as
the source for sessions with the neighbor and must be reachable within the VRF.
NOTE
It is strongly recommended that you use the connect-source loopback num parameter when issuing
the msdp-peer command. If you do not use this parameter, the device uses the IP address of the
outgoing interface. You should also make sure the IP address of the connect-source loopback is the
source IP address used by the PIM-RP, and the BGP device.
The commands in the following example add an MSDP neighbor and specify a loopback interface
as the source interface for sessions with the neighbor. By default, the device uses the subnet
address configured on the physical interface where you configure the neighbor as the source
address for sessions with the neighbor.
Brocade(config)# interface loopback 1
Brocade(config-lbif-1)# ip address 9.9.9.9/32
Brocade(config)# router msdp
Brocade(config-msdp-router)# msdp-peer 2.2.2.99 connect-source loopback 1
Disabling an MSDP peer
To disable an MSDP peer, enter the following command at the configure MSDP router level.
Brocade(config-msdp-router)# msdp-peer 205.216.162.1 shutdown
To disable the MSDP VRF peer named “blue”, enter the following commands.
Brocade(config)# router msdp vrf blue
Brocade(config-msdp-router-vrf-blue)# no msdp-peer 205.216.162.1
