configure msdp originator-id

configure msdp originator-id ip-address {vr vrname}

Description

Configures the originator ID for an MSDP router. The originator ID is the RP address you want to use (instead of the default) in locally originated SA messages.

Syntax Description

ip-address Specifies the RP address to use in locally originated SA messages. To unconfigure an originator ID (that is, to use the default RP address), enter the IP address 0.0.0.0.
vrname Specifies the name of the virtual router to which this command applies. If a name is not specified, it is extracted from the current CLI context.

Default

By default, the RP address is used as the originator ID in locally originated SA messages.

Usage Guidelines

Use this command to override the default RP address used in SA messages. Because only RPs and MSDP border routers originate SAs, there are times when it is necessary to change the ID used for this purpose. The originator ID address must be one of the interface addresses on the MSDP router.

You can configure the MSDP originator ID only when MSDP is disabled globally.

To remove an originator ID, enter the IP address 0.0.0.0.

Example

The following example configures the originator ID for an MSDP router:

configure msdp originator-id 10.203.134.1

The following example unconfigures the originator ID for an MSDP router:

configure msdp originator-id 0.0.0.0
