Configuring SA Messages Related Parameters

Configuration Prerequisites

Before configuring SA message delivery, complete the following tasks:

Configure any unicast routing protocol so that all devices in the domain are interoperable at the
network layer.

Configuring basic functions of MSDP

Before configuring SA message delivery, prepare the following data:

ACL rules for filtering SA request messages

ACL rules as SA message creation rules

ACL rules for filtering SA messages to be received and forwarded

TTL threshold for multicast packet encapsulation in SA messages

Maximum number of (S, G) entries learned from the specified MSDP peer that the router can cache

Configuring SA Message Content

Some multicast sources send multicast data at an interval longer than the aging time of (S, G) entries. In

this case, the source-side DR has to encapsulate multicast data packet by packet in register messages

and send them to the source-side RP. The source-side RP transmits the (S, G) information to the remote RP

through SA messages. Then the remote RP joins the source-side DR and builds an SPT. Since the (S, G)
entries have timed out, remote receivers can never receive the multicast data from the multicast source.
If the source-side RP is enabled to encapsulate register messages in SA messages, when there is a

multicast packet to deliver, the source-side RP encapsulates a register message containing the multicast

packet in an SA message and sends it out. After receiving the SA message, the remote RP

de-encapsulates the SA message and delivers the multicast data contained in the register message to the

receivers along the RPT.
The MSDP peers deliver SA messages to one another. Upon receiving an SA message, a router performs

RPF check on the message. If the router finds that the remote RP address is the same as the local RP

address, it will discard the SA message. In the Anycast RP application, however, you need to configure

RPs with the same IP address on two or more routers in the same PIM-SM domain, and configure these

routers as MSDP peers to one another. Therefore, a logic RP address (namely the RP address on the logic

interface) that is different from the actual RP address must be designated for SA messages so that the
messages can pass the RPF check.
Follow these steps to configure the SA message content:
