is different from the actual RP address must be designated for SA messages so that the messages can

pass the RPF check.
To configure the SA message content:

Step Command

Remarks

1.

Enter system view.

system-view

N/A

2.

Enter public network MSDP view or
VPN instance MSDP view.

msdp [ vpn-instance
vpn-instance-name ]

N/A

3.

Enable encapsulation of multicast

data in SA messages.

encap-data-enable

Optional.
Disabled by default.

4.

Configure the interface address as
the RP address in SA messages.

originating-rp interface-type
interface-number

Optional.
PIM RP address by default.

Configuring SA request messages

IMPORTANT:

Before you can enable the device to send SA requests, be sure to disable the SA message cache
mechanism.

By default, after receiving a new join message, a switch does not send an SA request message to any

MSDP peer. Instead, it waits for the next SA message from its MSDP peer. This will cause the receiver to

delay obtaining multicast source information. To enable a new receiver to get the active multicast source

information as early as possible, you can configure switches to send SA request messages to the
designated MSDP peers after receiving a join message of a new receiver.
To configure SA message transmission and filtering:

Step Command

Remarks

1.

Enter system view.

system-view

N/A

2.

Enter public network MSDP view

or VPN instance MSDP view.

msdp [ vpn-instance

N/A

3.

Enable the device to send SA
request messages.

peer peer-address
request-sa-enable

Optional.
Disabled by default.

4.

Configure a filtering rule for SA
request messages.

peer peer-address
sa-request-policy [ acl

acl-number ]

Optional.
SA request messages are not

filtered by default.

Configuring SA message filtering rules

By configuring an SA message creation rule, you can enable the switch to filter the (S, G) entries to be

advertised when creating an SA message, so that the propagation of messages of multicast sources is
controlled.
