The first step to configure MSDP is to enable it in global configuration mode using the
feature command. With the modular nature of NX-OS, using the feature command loads the
MSDP modular code into memory for execution. The MSDP feature will not be resident in
memory without first being enabled. This is advantageous because it preserves memory
resources in the router when a feature is not used. In Example 4-18, MSDP is enabled as a
feature on Router N7K-1-Core1, as depicted in Figure 4-9.
