mesh-group

Configures a multicast source discovery protocol (MSDP) mesh group from several rendezvous points (RPs).
Syntax
mesh-group group-name peer-address
no mesh-group group-name peer-address
Command Default

Mesh groups are not configured.

Parameters
group-name
Specifies the mesh group as alphabetic characters. The limit is 31 characters.
peer-address
Specifies the IP address of the MSDP peer that is being placed in the mesh group. Each mesh group can include up to 32 peers.
Modes

MSDP VRF configuration mode

Usage Guidelines

The no form of this command removes mesh groups.

You must configure the msdp-peer command to configure the MSDP peers by assigning their IP addresses and the loopback interfaces before you configure a mesh group.

You can have up to four mesh groups in a multicast network. Each mesh group can include up to 15 peers.

Each device that will be part of a mesh group must have a mesh group definition for all the peers in the mesh-group.

Examples

This example configures an MSDP mesh group on each device that will be included in the mesh group. 

Device(config)# router msdp
Device(config-msdp-router)# msdp-peer 206.251.18.31 connect-source loopback 2
Device(config-msdp-router)# msdp-peer 206.251.19.31 connect-source loopback 2
Device(config-msdp-router)# msdp-peer 206.251.20.31 connect-source loopback 2
Device(config-msdp-router)# mesh-group GroupA 206.251.18.31
Device(config-msdp-router)# mesh-group GroupA 206.251.19.31
Device(config-msdp-router)# mesh-group GroupA 206.251.20.31
Device(config-msdp-router)# exit
