Adjusting the Interval for Retrying Setting Up an MSDP Peer Connection

When a new MSDP peer relationship is created, when a closed MSDP peer connection is restarted, or when a faulty MSDP peer tries recovering, a TCP connection needs to be immediately set up between the MSDP peers. You can flexibly adjust the interval for retrying to set up a TCP connection between MSDP peers.

Prerequisites

Before adjusting the interval for retrying setting up an MSDP peer connection, complete the following tasks:

Configuring a unicast routing protocol to implement interconnection at the network layer
Enabling IP multicast
Configuring a PIM-SM domain to implement intra-domain multicast
Configuring PIM-SM Inter-domain Multicast or Configuring PIM-SM Inter-domain Multicast

Context

When a new MSDP peer is created, or when a closed MSDP peer connection is restarted, or when a faulty MSDP peer tries recovering, the TCP connection needs to be immediately set up between MSDP peers. Users can flexibly adjust the interval for retrying setting up an MSDP peer connection.
