Usage
Information
Dell Networking OS counts the SA messages originated by itself and those messages received from the
MSDP peers. When the total SA messages reach this limit, the subsequent SA messages are dropped
(even if they pass RPF checking and policy checking).
If the total number of SA messages is already larger than the limit when this command is applied, those
SA messages that are already in Dell Networking OS continue to be accepted. To enforce the limit in such
situation, use the clear ip msdp sa-cache command.
