interface-number

Optional

PIM RP address by default

Configuring SA Request Messages

By default, upon receiving a new Join message, a router 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 currently active

multicast source information as early as possible, you can configure routers to send SA request messages
to the designated MSDP peers upon receiving a Join message of a new receiver.
Follow these steps to configure SA message transmission and filtering:

To do...

Use the command...

Remarks

Enter system view

system-view

Enter public network MSDP view

msdp

Enable the device to send SA request
messages

peer peer-address
request-sa-enable

Optional

Disabled by default

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

CAUTION:

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

Configuring SA Message Filtering Rules

By configuring an SA message creation rule, you can enable the router 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.
By configuring a filtering rule for receiving or forwarding SA messages, you can enable the router to filter

the (S, G) forwarding entries to be advertised when receiving or forwarding an SA message, so that the

propagation of multicast source information is controlled at SA message reception or forwarding.
By configuring a TTL threshold for multicast data packet encapsulation in SA messages, you can control

the multicast data packet encapsulation in SA messages and limit the propagation range of SA
messages:

Before creating an SA message with an encapsulated multicast data packet, the router checks the
TTL value of the multicast data packet. If the TTL value is less than the threshold, the router does not

create an SA message; if the TTL value is greater than or equal to the threshold, the router

encapsulates the multicast data in an SA message and sends the SA message out.
