6.1  MSDP Configuration Commands 
6.1.1  cache-sa-enable 
Syntax 
cache-sa-enable 
undo cache-sa-enable 
View 
MSDP view 
Parameter 
None 
Description 
Use the cache-sa-enable command to enable the router to cache SA state. 
Use the undo cache-sa-enable command to remove the cache from the router. 
By default, the router caches the SA state, i.e., (S, G) entry after it receives SA 
messages. 
If the router is in cache state, it will not send SA request message to the specified 
MSDP peer when it receives a new group join message. 
Example 
# Configure the router to cache all the SA states. 
<Quidway> system-view 
System View: return to User View with Ctrl+Z.
