Release Information
Statement introduced before Junos OS Release 7.4.
Statement introduced in Junos OS Release 12.1 for the QFX Series.
Description
Define an MSDP peering relationship. An MSDP routing device must know which routing devices are its peers. You define the peer relationships explicitly by configuring the neighboring routing devices that are the MSDP peers of the local routing device. After peer relationships are established, the MSDP peers exchange messages to advertise active multicast sources. To configure multiple MSDP peers, include multiple peer statements.
By default, the peer's options are identical to the global or group-level MSDP options. To override the global or group-level options, include peer-specific options within the peer (Protocols MSDP) statement.
At least one peer must be configured for MSDP to function. You must configure address and local-address.
Options
address—Name of the MSDP peer.
The remaining statements are explained separately.
Required Privilege Level
routing—To view this statement in the configuration.
routing-control—To add this statement to the configuration.
