7.5.4 Configuring an SA Message Filtering Rule
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.
In addition to controlling SA message creation, you can also configure filtering rules for
forwarding and receiving SA messages, so as to control the propagation of multicast
source information in the SA messages.
z
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.
z
An SA message with encapsulated multicast data can be forwarded to a
designated MSDP peer only if the TTL value in its IP header exceeds the threshold.
Therefore, you can control the forwarding of such an SA message by configuring
the TTL threshold of the encapsulated data packet.
Follow these steps to configure a filtering rule for receiving or forwarding SA messages:
