import-source [ acl 
acl-number ] 
Optional
 
You can configure the rule 
for filtering related multicast 
group IP addresses in ACL. 
By default, all the (S, G) 
entries in the domain are 
advertised in the SA 
message. 
 
 
8.4.4  Configuring a Rule for Filtering Received and Forwarded SA Messages  
Besides the creation of source information, controlling multicast source information 
allows you to control the forwarding and reception of source information. You can 
control the reception of SA messages using the MSDP inbound filter (corresponding to 
the import keyword); you can control the forwarding of SA messages by using either 
the MSDP outbound filter (corresponding to the export argument) or the TTL threshold. 
By default, an MSDP peer receives and forwards all SA messages.  
MSDP inbound/outbound filter implements the following functions:  
z  Filtering out all (S, G) entries 
z  Receiving/forwarding only the SA messages permitted by advanced ACL rules 
(You can configure ACL rules for filtering source IP addresses and group IP 
addresses.) 
An SA message carrying encapsulated data can reach the specified MSDP peer 
outside the domain only when the TTL in its IP header exceeds the threshold; therefore, 
you can control the forwarding of SA messages that carry encapsulated data by 
configuring the TTL threshold.
