Information
The connect-source option is used to supply a source IP address for the TCP
connection. When an interface is specified using the
connect-source option, the
primary configured address on the interface is used.
If the total number of SA messages received from the peer is already larger than the
limit when this command is applied, those SA messages will continue to be accepted.
To enforce the limit in such situation, use command
clear ip msdp peer command to
reset the peer.
