Chapter 45 Configuring MSDP
Configuring MSDP
Note that the ip msdp originator-id global configuration command also identifies an interface to be
used as the RP address. If both the ip msdp border sa-address and the ip msdp originator-id global
configuration commands are configured, the address derived from the ip msdp originator-id command
specifies the RP address.
used as the RP address. If both the ip msdp border sa-address and the ip msdp originator-id global
configuration commands are configured, the address derived from the ip msdp originator-id command
specifies the RP address.
To return to the default setting (active sources in the dense-mode region do not participate in MSDP),
use the no ip msdp border sa-address interface-id global configuration command.
use the no ip msdp border sa-address interface-id global configuration command.
Configuring an Originating Address other than the RP Address
You can allow an MSDP speaker that originates an SA message to use the IP address of the interface as
the RP address in the SA message by changing the Originator ID. You might change the Originator ID
in one of these cases:
the RP address in the SA message by changing the Originator ID. You might change the Originator ID
in one of these cases:
•
If you configure a logical RP on multiple switches in an MSDP mesh group.
•
If you have a switch that borders a PIM sparse-mode domain and a dense-mode domain. If a switch
borders a dense-mode domain for a site, and sparse-mode is being used externally, you might want
dense-mode sources to be known to the outside world. Because this switch is not an RP, it would not
have an RP address to use in an SA message. Therefore, this command provides the RP address by
specifying the address of the interface.
