Configures the limit to which multicast data packets are sent in SA messages to an MSDP peer. If the time-to-live (TTL) in the IP header of an encapsulated data packet exceeds the TTL threshold configured, encapsulated data is not forwarded to MSDP peers.
| remoteaddr | Specifies the IP address of the MSDP peer on which to configure a TTL threshold. |
| all | Specifies all MSDP peers. |
| ttl | Specifies the TTL value. The range is 0–255. To restore the default value, enter a TTL value of 0 (zero). |
| vrname | Specifies the name of the virtual router to which this command applies. If a name is not specified, it is extracted from the current CLI context. |
The default value is zero, meaning all multicast data packets are forwarded to the peer regardless of the TTL value in the IP header of the encapsulated data packet.
This command allows you to configure a TTL value to limit multicast data traffic.
The following example configures a TTL threshold of 5:
configure msdp peer 192.168.45.43 ttl-threshold 5
