router msdp

Enables multicast source discovery protocol (MSDP) on a router.
Syntax
router msdp [ vrf vrf-name ]
Command Default

MSDP is not enabled.

Parameters
vrf vrf-name
Specifies a virtual routing and forwarding (VRF) instance.
Modes

Global configuration mode

Usage Guidelines

When you configure the no router msdp vrf vrf-name command, the MSDP configuration is removed only from the specified VRF.

The PIM Sparse Rendezvous Point (RP) is also an MSDP peer.

Devices that run MSDP usually also run BGP. The source address used by the MSDP device is normally configured to be the same source address used by BGP.

All MSDP parameters available for the default router instance are configurable for a VRF-based MSDP instance.

Examples

The following example enables MSDP. 

Device(config)# router msdp

The following example enables MSDP on a VRF named blue. 

Device(config)# router msdp vrf blue

The following example removes the MSDP configuration only from the VRF named blue. 

Device(config-msdp-router-vrf-blue)# no router msdp vrf blue
