msdp-peer

Configures a multicast source discovery protocol (MSDP) peer.
Syntax
msdp-peer ip-address [ connect-source loopback num | shutdown ]
no msdp-peer ip-address [ connect-source loopback num | shutdown ]
Parameters
ip-address
Specifies the IP address of the MSDP peer.
connect-source loopback
Specifies the loopback interface you want to use as the source for sessions with the neighbor; it must be reachable within the VRF.
shutdown
Disables the MSDP peer. Configure this keyword at the MSDP router configuration mode level.
Modes

MSDP router configuration mode

VRF configuration mode

Usage Guidelines

The no form of the command with deletes the MSDP peer configuration. You should provide the IP address to identify the MSDP peer configuration that needs deletion. Use the shutdown option to disable the MSDP peer.

Note: The PIM Sparse rendezvous point (RP) is also an MSDP peer.
Note: 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.

It is strongly recommended that you specify the connect-source loopback keyword when iyou configure the msdp-peer command. If you do not, the device uses the IP address of the outgoing interface. You should also make sure that the IP address of the connect-source loopback is the source IP address used by the PIM RP and the BGP device.

Examples

The following example configures a device with the address 205.216.162.1 as an MSDP peer. 

device(config)# router msdp
device(config-msdp-router)# msdp-peer 205.216.162.1

The following example configures an MSDP peer on a VRF. 

device(config)# router msdp
device(config-msdp-router)# msdp-peer 205.216.162.1

The following example adds an MSDP peer and specifies a loopback interface as the source interface for sessions with the peer. By default, the device uses the subnet address configured on the physical interface where you configure the peer as the source address for sessions with the peer. 

device(config)# interface loopback 1
device(config-lbif-1)# ip address 9.9.9.9/32
device(config)# router msdp
device(config-msdp-router)# msdp-peer 2.2.2.99 connect-source loopback 1
