MSDP Configuration
481
Controlling the Received 
Source Information
Please perform the following configurations in MSDP view.
Similar to MSDP outbound filter in function, MSDP inbound filter controls the 
received SA messages. By default, the SA messages from all peers are accepted.
Configuring MSDP Mesh 
Group
Mesh Group is useful when full connection among MSDP peers is required but SA 
message flooding shall be prevented.
In a Mesh group, the SA messages from outside the group are forwarded to other 
members in the group, but the SA messages from peers inside the group will not 
be performed with Peer-RPF check or forwarded in the group. In this case, the 
overflow of SA messages is avoided and Peer-RPF is simplified, as BGP or MBGP is 
not required between MSDP peers.
Please perform the following configurations in MSDP view.
If an MSDP peer is configured into different mesh groups, only the last 
configuration is valid.
Configuring the MSDP 
Connection Retry Period
Perform the following configurations in MSDP view.
By default, MSDP connection is retried at the interval of 30 seconds.
Shutting MSDP Peers 
Down
The session between MSDP peers can be cut off and re-activated as needed.
If a session between MSDP peers is cut off, the TCP connection will terminate with 
no retry effort, but the configuration information will be reserved.
Please perform the following configurations in MSDP view.
