HP MSR4080 Configuration Guide

Configuring the SA cache mechanism
The SA cache mechanism enables the router to locally cache (S, G) entries contained in SA
messages. It reduces the time for obtaining multicast source information, but increases memory
occupation.
With the SA cache mechanism enabled, when the router receives a new (*, G) join message, it
searches its SA message cache first.
•
If no matching (S, G) entry is found, the router waits for the SA message that its MSDP peer
sends in the next cycle.
•
If a matching (S, G) entry is found in the cache, the router joins the SPT rooted at S.
To protect the router against DoS attacks, you can set a limit on the number of (S, G) entries in the
SA cache from an MSDP peer.
To configure the SA cache mechanism:
Step
Command
Remarks
1. Enter system view.
system-view
N/A
2. Enter MSDP view.
msdp
[
vpn-instance
vpn-instance-name ]
N/A
3.
Enable the SA cache
mechanism.
cache-sa-enable
By default,
the SA message
cache mechanism is enabled.
The device caches the
(S, G)
entries contained in the received
SA messages.
4. Set the maximum number of
(S, G) entries in the SA cache
from an MSDP peer.
peer
peer-address
sa-cache-maximum
sa-limit
The default setting is
4294967295.
Displaying and maintaining MSDP
Execute display commands in any view and reset commands in user view.
