Configuring basic MSDP functions
All the configuration tasks should be performed on the RPs in an PIM-SM domain, and each of these RPs
acts as an MSDP peer.
Configuration prerequisites
Before you configure basic MSDP functions, complete the following tasks:
•
Configure any unicast routing protocol so that all devices in the domain are interoperable at the
network layer.
•
Configure PIM-SM to enable intra-domain multicast forwarding.
•
Determine the IP addresses of MSDP peers.
•
Determine the address prefix list for an RP address filtering policy.
Enabling MSDP
When the system is operating in standard mode, you must configure a reserved VLAN before you
configure MSDP for a VPN instance. For more information about the system operating mode, see
Fundamentals Configuration Guide. For more information about a reserved VLAN, see MPLS
Configuration Guide and MPLS Command Reference.
