Creating an MSDP peer

RemoteAddress

Shows the IP address of the remote MSDP peer.

State

Shows the state of the default peer. An MSDP node only accepts SA messages from an operational default peer. Only one default peer can be operational; the configured default peers provide redundancy.

AdminEnabled

Changes the peer status to administratively enable or disable a configured peer. The default value is disabled (false).

ClearPeer

Clears the TCP connection to the specified MSDP peer and resets all MSDP message counters. The default value is disabled (false).

ConnectRetryInterval

Specifies the connection retry period, in seconds, for this peer. The default value is 30 seconds.

HoldTimeConfigured

The default value is 75 seconds.

KeepAliveConfigured

Specifies the keepalive period, in seconds, configured for this MSDP speaker with this peer. If the value is 0 seconds, no periodic keepalive messages are sent to the peer after the MSDP connection is established. The default value is 60 seconds.

DataTtl

Specifies the time-to-live value, from 1–255. The default value is 1, which means that the router forwards all SA messages with encapsulated data.

InSAFilterEnabled

Activates the inbound SA filter for the peer.

InSAFilterRouteMapName

Specifies the name of the route map. If you configure the route map name, the filter accepts only the SA messages that meet the match criteria in the route map map-name with a permit keyword. If you do not configure the route map name, the system blocks all inbound SA messages from this peer.

OutSAFilterEnabled

Activates the outbound SA filter for the peer.

OutSAFilterRouteMapName

Specifies the name of the route map. If you configure the route map name, the filter sends only the SA messages that meet the match criteria in the route map map-name with a permit keyword. If you do not configure the route map name, the system blocks all outbound SA messages from this peer.

Description

Specifies the text description, up to 255 characters, for the peer.

SALimit

Specifies the maximum number of SA messages from an MSDP peer to keep in the SA cache. The valid values are from 0–6144; the default value is 6144.

Md5AuthEnabled

Activates MD5 authentication on the TCP connection between peers. The default is false.

Md5AuthPassword

Specifies a case-sensitive password, up to 80 characters, for MD5 authentication.

RemotePort

Shows the remote port for the TCP connection between the MSDP peers.

LocalPort

Shows the local port for the TCP connection between the MSDP peers.

OperEnabled

Shows the operational status of the peer.

RPFFailures

Shows the number of SA messages received from this peer that failed the Peer-RPF check. Discontinuities in the value of this counter can occur at reinitialization of the management system.

InSAs

Shows the number of MSDP SA messages received on this connection. Discontinuities in the value of this counter can occur at reinitialization of the management system.

OutSAs

Shows the number of MSDP SA messages sent on this connection. Discontinuities in the value of this counter can occur at reinitialization of the management system.

InSARequests

Shows the number of MSDP SA-Request messages received on this connection. Discontinuities in the value of this counter can occur at reinitialization of the management system.

OutSARequests

Shows the number of MSDP SA-Request messages sent on this connection. Discontinuities in the value of this counter can occur at reinitialization of the management system.

InSAResponses

Shows the number of MSDP SA-Response messages received on this connection. Discontinuities in the value of this counter can occur at reinitialization of the management system.

OutSAResponses

Shows the number of MSDP SA-Response messages sent on this connection. Discontinuities in the value of this counter can occur at reinitialization of the management system.

InControlMessages

Shows the total number of MSDP messages received on this TCP connection. Discontinuities in the value of this counter can occur at reinitialization of the management system.

OutControlMessages

Shows the total number of MSDP messages transmitted on this TCP connection. Discontinuities in the value of this counter can occur at reinitialization of the management system.

InDataPackets

Shows the total number of encapsulated packets received on this TCP connection. Discontinuities in the value of this counter can occur at reinitialization of the management system.

OutDataPackets

Shows the total number of encapsulated packets transmitted on this TCP connection. Discontinuities in the value of this counter can occur at reinitialization of the management system.

FsmEstablishedTransitions

Shows the total number of times the BGP transitioned to the established state.

FsmEstablishedTime

Shows the time when the peer transitioned to the established state.

InMessageTime

Shows the time when the last MSDP message was received from the peer.

ConnectionAttempts

Shows the number of times the state machine has transitioned from inactive to connecting.

DiscontinuityTime

Shows the sysUpTime value (the time, in hundredths of a second, since the network management portion of the system last reinitialized) when one or more of the counters for this entry suffered a discontinuity. Discontinuities can occur at peer connection establishment. If no discontinuities occurred since the last reinitialization of the local management subsystem, the value is zero.

AsNumber

Specifies the autonomous system number of the MSDP peer. A peer can appear to be in another autonomous system (other than the one in which it really resides) if you use an MSDP peering session but do not use a Border Gateway Protocol peer session with that peer. If another autonomous system injects the prefix of the peer, the system displays the prefix as the autonomous system number of the peer.

TooShortMessages

Shows the number of short messages received from this peer.

InBadMessages

Shows the number of bad MSDP messages received from this peer.

InKeepAliveMessages

Shows the number of keepalive messages received from this peer.

OutKeepAliveMessages

Shows the number of keepalive messages transmitted to this peer.

SAsLearnedFromThisPeer

Shows the total number of SAs learned from this peer.

SAsAdvertisedToThisPeer

Shows the total number of SAs advertised from this peer.

UpOrDownTime

Shows the duration a peer has been up or down.

ConnAndStatsClearedTime

Shows the duration of connection and statistics cleared.
