Default MSDP Configuration
MSDP is not enabled, and no default MSDP peer exists.
Configuring a Default MSDP Peer
In this IOS release, because BGP and MBGP are not supported, you cannot configure an MSDP peer on
the local multilayer switch by using the ip msdp peer global configuration command. Instead, you
define a default MSDP peer (by using the ip msdp default-peer global configuration command) from
which to accept all SA messages for the multilayer switch. The default MSDP peer must be a previously
configured MSDP peer. Configure a default MSDP peer when the multilayer switch is not BGP- or
MBGP-peering with an MSDP peer. If a single MSDP peer is configured, the multilayer switch always
accepts all SA messages from that peer.
Figure 25-2
who owns Multilayer Switch B is connected to the Internet through two Internet service providers
(ISPs), one owning Router A and the other owning Router C. They are not running BGP or MBGP
between them. To learn about sources in the ISP's domain or in other domains, multilayer Switch B at
the customer site identifies Router A as its default MSDP peer. Multilayer Switch B advertises SA
messages to both Router A and Router C but accepts SA messages only from Router A or only Router
C. If Router A is first in the configuration file, it is used if it is running. If Router A is not running, only
then does multilayer Switch B accept SA messages from Router C. This is the default behavior without
a prefix list.
If you specify a prefix list, the peer is a default peer only for the prefixes in the list. You can have
multiple active default peers when you have a prefix list associated with each. When you do not have
any prefix lists, you can configure multiple default peers, but only the first one is the active default peer
as long as the router has connectivity to this peer and the peer is alive. If the first configured peer fails
or the connectivity to this peer fails, the second configured peer becomes the active default, and so on.
The ISP probably uses a prefix list to define which prefixes it accepts from the customer's router.
