II. Tracing the transmission path of an SA message over the network
You can use the msdp-tracert command in any view to trace the path along which the
multicast data travels from the multicast source to the destination receiver over the
network, so as to locate errors, if any.

transmission
path of an
SA message
over the
network
msdp-tracert source-address

You can execute the display
command in any view.
You can locate message loss and configuration errors by tracing the network path of
the specified (S, G, RP) entries. Once the transmission path of SA messages is
determined, correct configuration can prevent the flooding of SA messages.
