Configuring basic MSDP functions
This section describes how to configure basic MSDP functions.
All the configuration tasks should be performed on RPs in PIM-SM domains, and each of these RPs
acts as an MSDP peer.
Configuration prerequisites
Before you configure basic MSDP functions, complete the following tasks:
•
Configure any unicast routing protocol so that all devices in the domain are interoperable at the
network layer.
•
Configure PIM-SM to enable intra-domain multicast forwarding.
•
Determine the IP addresses of MSDP peers.
•
Determine the address prefix list for an RP address filtering policy.
Enabling MSDP
This section describes how to enable MSDP for the public network and for a VPN instance.
