Configuring MSDP Peers

You can configure an MSDP peer when you configure a peering relationship with each MSDP peer that resides either within the current PIM domain or in another PIM domain. MSDP is enabled on the router when you configure the first MSDP peering relationship.

For more information, see the Cisco Nexus 9000 Series NX-OS Multicast Routing Configuration Guide, Release 7.x.

Prerequisites:

Ensure that you have enabled PIM and MSDP.
Ensure that you configured PIM in the domains of the routers that you will configure as MSDP peers.

This example configures an MSDP peer.
