Multicast Source Discovery Protocol (MSDP)
The peer-address parameter specifies the IP address of the MSDP peer that is being placed in the
group.
NOTE
On each of the device that will be part of the mesh-group, there must be a mesh-group definition for
all the peers in the mesh-group.
Up to 32 MSDP peers can be configured per mesh group.
Example configuration of an MSDP mesh group
In Figure 177, devices A, B, C, and D are in Mesh Group 1234. The example configuration following
the figure shows how the devices are configured to be part of the MSDP mesh group. The example
also shows the features that need to be enabled for the MSDP mesh group to work.

MSDP mesh group configuration for Device A
The following set of commands configure the MSDP peers of Device A (1.1.1.1) that are inside and
outside MSDP mesh group 1234. Device A peers inside the mesh group 1234 are 1.1.2.1, 1.1.3.1,
and 1.1.4.1. Device 17.17.17.7 is a peer of Device A, but is outside mesh group 1234. Multicast is
enabled on Device A interfaces. PIM and BGP are also enabled.
