Configuring Multicast Source Discovery Protocol

MSDP Configuration Task List

To apply an MSDP filter, use the following commands in global configuration mode as needed:

Command

Purpose

 

 

Router(config)# ip msdp sa-filter out {peer-address

Filters all SA messages to the specified MSDP peer.

peer-name}

 

 

 

Router(config)# ip msdp sa-filter out

To the specified MSDP peer, passes only those SA messages

{peer--address peer-name}list access-list

that pass the extended access list.

 

 

Router(config)# ip msdp sa-filter out {peer-address

To the specified MSDP peer, passes only those SA messages

peer-name}route-mapmap-name

that meet the match criteria in the route map map-tagvalue.

 

 

Using TTL to Limit the Multicast Data Sent in SA Messages

You can use TTL to control what data will be encapsulated in the first SA message for every source. For example, you could limit internal traffic to a TTL of 8. If you want other groups to go to external locations, you would need to send those packets with a TTL greater than 8.

To establish a TTL threshold, use the following command in global configuration mode:

Command

Purpose

 

 

Router(config)# ip msdp ttl-threshold {peer-address

Limits which multicast data will be encapsulated in the first SA

peer-name}ttl-value

message to the specified MSDP peer.

 

 

Controlling Source Information That Your Router Receives

By default, the router receives all SA messages its MSDP RPF peers send to it. However, you can control the source information you receive from MSDP peers by filtering incoming SA messages. In other words, you can configure the router not to accept them.

You can do one of the following to control the source information you receive from MSDP peers:

Filter all incoming SA messages from an MSDP peer

Specify an extended access list to pass certain source/group pairs

Filter based on match criteria in a route map

To apply a filter, use the following commands in global configuration mode as needed:

Command

Purpose

 

 

Router(config)# ip msdp sa-filter in {peer-address

From the specified MSDP peer, filters all SA messages

peer-name}

received.

 

 

Router(config)# ip msdp sa-filter in {peer-address

From the specified MSDP peer, passes incoming SA messages

peer-name}list access-list

that pass the extended access list.

 

 

Router(config)# ip msdp sa-filter in {peer-address

From the specified MSDP peer, passes only those SA messages

peer-name}route-mapmap-name

that meet the match criteria in the route map map-namevalue.
