Overview

Guides users towards enabling interoperability between SD-WAN and non-SD-WAN domains to facilitate inter-domain source discovery using Multicast Source Discovery Protocol (MSDP).

Feature history for MSDP

This section lists the development milestones and release information for MSDP, including feature description.

MSDP Routing Protocol Support

This topic explains how the protocol facilitates the interconnection of multiple sparse-mode domains by exchanging source information between rendezvous points. It describes the conversion process between Source Active messages and overlay management routes to support inter-domain traffic.

Configure MSDP to interconnect Cisco SD-WAN and Non-SD-WAN using a CLI Template

Use this procedure to enable protocol interworking and define specific VRF parameters using a command-line template.

Verify MSDP configuration to interconnect Cisco SD-WAN and Non-SD-WAN

Use this procedure to confirm that protocol interoperability is active and that remote nodes are correctly identified within the overlay.

Monitor MSDP configuration to interconnect Cisco SD-WAN and Non-SD-WAN

Use this procedure to track the status of peering relationships and view the contents of the Source Active cache.

Troubleshooting for MSDP

This topic provides targeted solutions for the resolution of common MSDP issues such as unpopulated caches or missing route advertisements.
