Creating an MSDP peer

Create an MSDP peer to establish a peer relationship between the local MSDP enabled router and a peer in another domain.

Important

Do not enable more than 20 active peers.

1. Enter either Global Configuration mode or VRF Router Configuration mode for a specific VRF context:

   enable

   configure terminal

   Optional: router vrf WORD<1-16>

2. Create an MSDP peer:

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

3. Enable an MSDP peer:

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

   

   Note

   MSDP peer is disabled by default.

4. 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
