Creating an MSDP peering connection
An MSDP peering relationship is identified by an address pair (the addresses of the local MSDP peer
and the remote MSDP peer). To create an MSDP peering connection, you must perform the creation
operation on both devices that are a pair of MSDP peers.
If an MSDP peer and a BGP peer share the same interface at the same time, HP recommends that you
configure the same IP address for them.
To create an MSDP peering connection:
Ste
Command
Remarks
1. Enter system view.
system-view N/A
2. Enter MSDP view.
msdp [ vpn-instance
vpn-instance-name ]
N/A
3. Create an MSDP peering
connection.
peer peer-address connect-interface
interface-type interface-number
By default, no MSDP peering
connection is created.
Configuring a static RPF peer
Configuring static RPF peers can avoid RPF check for SA messages.
If only one MSDP peer is configured on a router, this MSDP peer acts as a static RPF peer.
To configure a static RPF peer:
Ste
Command
Remarks
1. Enter system view.
system-view N/A
2. Enter MSDP view.
msdp [ vpn-instance

3. Configure a static RPF peer.
static-rpf-peer peer-address
[ rp-policy ip-prefix-name ]
By default, no static RPF peer is
configured.
Configuring an MSDP peering connection
This section describes how to configure an MSDP peering connection.
Configuration prerequisites
Before you configure an MSDP peering connection, complete the following tasks:
• Configure a unicast routing protocol so that all devices in the domain are interoperable at the
network layer.
• Configure basic MSDP functions.
Configuring the description for an MSDP peer
MSDP peer descriptions help administrators easily distinguish between different MSDP peers and better
manage them.
