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 on page 638 show the OSPF-BGP configuration used
in this chapter for MSDP. Otherwise, see Chapter 32, Open Shortest Path First (OSPFv2 and
OSPFv3), on page 691 and Chapter 10, Border Gateway Protocol IPv4 (BGPv4), on page 205.
2. Configure PIM-SM within each EGP routing domain.
Figure 28-5 and MSDP Sample Configurations on page 638 show the PIM-SM configuration in this
chapter for MSDP. Otherwise, see Chapter 34, PIM Sparse-Mode, on page 755.
3. Enable MSDP. See page 622.
4. Peer the RPs in each routing domain with each other. See page 622.
