Configuring basic MSDP features
All the configuration tasks in this section 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 features, complete the following tasks:
•
Configure a unicast routing protocol so that all devices in the domain can interoperate at the
network layer.
•
Configure PIM-SM to enable intra-domain multicast.
