Create an MSDP peer:

ip msdp peer {A.B.C.D}
Enable an MSDP peer:

ip msdp peer {A.B.C.D} enable

Note

MSDP peer is disabled by default.
Optional: Specify the remote autonomous system (AS) number of the MSDP peer:

ip msdp peer {A.B.C.D} remote–as WORD<0-11>

Example

Switch:1>enable
Switch:1#configure terminal
Switch:1(config)#ip msdp peer 21.0.0.2
Switch:1(config)#ip msdp peer 21.0.0.2 enable
Switch:1(config)#ip msdp peer remote-as 1
