Description

Syntax Description


`mesh-group-name`	Specifies the name for the MSDP mesh-group.

Usage Guidelines

A mesh-group is a group of MSDP peers with fully meshed MSDP connectivity. Create a mesh-group to:

Reduce SA message flooding.
Simplify peer-RPF flooding.

SA messages received from a peer in a mesh-group are not forwarded to other peers in the same mesh-group, which reduces SA message flooding.

A mesh group name must begin with an alphabetical character and may contain alphanumeric characters and underscores ( _ ), but it cannot contain spaces. The maximum allowed length for a name is 32 characters. For name creation guidelines and a list of reserved names, see Object Names in the Switch Engine v33.1.1 User Guide .

Example

The following example creates a mesh-group called "verizon:":

create msdp mesh-group verizon
