Configure MSDP Mesh Groups

Configure mesh groups to reduce SA flooding. A mesh group does not forward SA messages to other group members. The originator, which is also a mesh group member, forwards SA messages to all group members. Create MSDP mesh groups from a group of meshed MSDP speakers from a domain.
Note

Note

The MSDP router does not belong to any mesh group by default.
