Multicast Source Discovery Protocol

(MSDP)

Multicast source discovery protocol (MSDP) connects multiple PIM sparse-mode (PIM-SM) domains

together.

MSDP peers connect using TCP port 639. Peers send keepalives every 60 seconds. A peer connection is

reset after 75 seconds if no MSDP packets are received. MSDP connections are parallel with MBGP

connections.

The Dell Networking OS supports MSDP commands on the platform.

clear ip msdp peer

Reset the TCP connection to the peer and clear all the peer statistics.

Syntax

clear ip msdp peer {peer address}

Parameters

peer address Enter the peer address in a dotted decimal format (A.B.C.D.)

Defaults Not configured.

Command Modes EXEC Privilege
