Step

Command

Remarks

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

By default, after 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 active multicast source

information as early as possible, you can configure routers 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. msdp

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.

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.
