Configuring Multicast Source Discovery Protocol
Configuring MSDP is a three-step process:
1. Enable an exterior gateway protocol (EGP) with at least two routing domains.
Figure 28-5 and MSDP Sample Configurations show the OSPF-BGP configuration used in this chapter
for MSDP. Otherwise, see Chapter 32, Open Shortest Path First (OSPFv2 and OSPFv3) and
Chapter 10, Border Gateway Protocol IPv4 (BGPv4).
2. Configure PIM-SM within each EGP routing domain.
Figure 28-5 and MSDP Sample Configurations show the PIM-SM configuration in this chapter for
MSDP. Otherwise, see Chapter 34, PIM Sparse-Mode.
3. Enable MSDP. See page 622.
4. Peer the RPs in each routing domain with each other. See page 622.
