Huawei quidway s7700 - Controlling the Sessions between MSDP Peers; Adjusting the Interval for Retrying Setting up an MSDP Peer Connection

7.5.2 Controlling the Sessions Between MSDP Peers
After the connection between MSDP peers is closed, the MSDP peers no longer exchange SA
messages and do not retry to set up a new connection. You can restart the connection between
the MSDP peers as required.
Context
Do as follows on the switch on which the MSDP peer is created:
Procedure
Step 1 Run:
system-view
The system view is displayed.
Step 2 Run:
msdp [ vpn-instance vpn-instance-name ]
The MSDP view is displayed.
Step 3 Run:
shutdown peer-address
A session with the remote MSDP peer is closed.
The parameters of the command are explained as follows:
l peer-address: specifies the address of a remote MSDP peer.
l After the session with the remote MSDP peer is closed, the TCP connection is closed, the
peers no longer transmit SA messages, and the peers do not re-try setting up the connection.
The configuration, however, is saved.
l You can run the undo shutdown peer-address command to open the session with the remote
MSDP peer, and reestablish the TCP connection.

7.5.3 Adjusting the interval for Retrying Setting up an MSDP Peer
Connection
When a new MSDP peer relationship is created, when a closed MSDP peer connection is
restarted, or when a faulty MSDP peer tries recovering, a TCP connection needs to be
immediately set up between the MSDP peers. You can flexibly adjust the interval for retrying
to set up a TCP connection between MSDP peers.
Context
Do as follows on the switch on which the MSDP peer is created:
