MSDP Configuration Guidelines

To configure MSDP, include statements at the [edit protocols msdp] hierarchy level of the configuration:

protocols {

    msdp {

        disable;

        export [ policy-names ]; 

        import [ policy-names ];

        local-address address;

        rib-group group-name;

        traceoptions {

            file name <replace> <size size> <files number> <no-stamp> 

                <(world-readable | no-world-readable)>;

            flag flag <flag-modifier> <disable>; 

        }

        peer address {

            disable;

            export [ policy-names ]; 

            import [ policy-names ];

            local-address address;

            traceoptions {

                file name <replace> <size size> <files number> <no-stamp> 

                    <(world-readable | no-world-readable)>;

                flag flag <flag-modifier> <disable>; 

            }

        }

        group group-name {

            disable;

            export [ policy-names ]; 

            import [ policy-names ];

            local-address address;

            mode <(mesh-group | standard)>; 

            traceoptions {

                file name <replace> <size size> <files number> <no-stamp> 

                    <(world-readable | no-world-readable)>;

                flag flag <flag-modifier> <disable>; 

            }

            peer address; {

                disable;

                export [ policy-names ]; 

                import [ policy-names ];

                local-address address;

                traceoptions {

                    file name <replace> <size size> <files number> <no-stamp> 

                        <(world-readable | no-world-readable)>;

                    flag flag <flag-modifier> <disable>; 

                }

            }

        }

    }

}

By default, MSDP is disabled.

This chapter describes the following tasks for configuring MSDP:

• Minimum MSDP Configuration
• Enable MSDP
• Configure MSDP Peers
• Configure MSDP Groups
• Configure MSDP Mesh Groups
• Configure MSDP Routing Policy
• Configure Multiple Rendezvous Points in a Domain
