Creating an MSDP peering connection

An MSDP peering relationship is identified by an address pair (the addresses of the local MSDP peer and the remote MSDP peer). To create an MSDP peering connection, you must perform the creation operation on both devices that are a pair of MSDP peers.

If an MSDP peer and a BGP peer share the same interface, configure the same IP address for the MSDP peer and the BGP peer as a best practice.
