Enables the advertisement of local sources to groups for which the router is an RP.
| filter-name | Specifies the policy to associate with the export of local sources. No policy is specified by default. |
| 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. |
By default, the export of local sources is enabled. All sources are advertised if the router is an RP for the groups.
You can create a policy to filter out some of the local sources so that they are not advertised to MSDP peers and exposed to the external multicast domain. To configure an export filter, you must first disable the export of local sources (with the disable msdp export local-sa command), and then re-enable it with an export filter (with the enable msdp export local-sa export-filter command).
Please note that the syntax for “multicast-group”, “multicast-source,” and “pim-rp” are the same as for the “nlri” policy attribute.
[multicast-group | multicast-source | pim-rp] [ipaddress | any]/mask-length> {exact}
[multicast-group | multicast-source | pim-rp] [ipaddress | any] mask mask {exact}
An example of an MSDP policy file follows:
entry allow_internal_rp {
if match any {
multicast-group 234.67.89.0/24;
multicast-source 23.123.45.0/24;
pim-rp 10.203.134.5/32;
} then {
permit;
}
}
entry deny_local_group239 {
if match any {
multicast-group 239.0.0.0/8;
multicast-source 23.123.45.0/24;
} then {
deny;
}
}
entry allow_external_rp_172 {
if {
multicast-group 234.172.0.0/16;
} then {
permit
}
}
# deny remaining entries
The following command enables the advertisement of local sources:
nable msdp export local-sa
