Using ACLs to control multicast features
19
Clearing peer information
To clear MSDP peer information, enter the following command at the Privileged EXEC level of the
CLI:
PowerConnect# clear ip msdp peer 205.216.162.1
Remote connection closed
Syntax: clear ip msdp peer <ip-addr>
The command in this example clears the MSDP peer connection with MSDP router 205.216.162.1.
The CLI displays a message to indicate when the connection has been successfully closed.
Clearing the source active cache
To clear the entries from the Source Active cache, enter the following command at the Privileged
EXEC level of the CLI:
PowerConnect# clear ip msdp sa-cache
Syntax: clear ip msdp sa-cache [<source-addr> | <group-addr>]
The command in this example clears all the cache entries. Use the <source-addr> parameter to
clear only the entries for a specified course. Use the <group-addr> parameter to clear only the
entries for a specific group.
Clearing MSDP statistics
To clear MSDP statistics, enter the following command at the Privileged EXEC level of the CLI:
PowerConnect# clear ip msdp statistics
Syntax: clear ip msdp statistics [<ip-addr>]
The command in this example clears statistics for all the peers. To clear statistics for a specific
peer, enter the peer IP address.
Using ACLs to control multicast features
You can use ACLs to control the following multicast features:
• Limit the number of multicast groups that are covered by a static rendezvous point (RP)
• Control which multicast groups for which candidate RPs sends advertisement messages to
bootstrap routers
• Identify which multicast group packets will be forwarded or blocked on an interface
Using ACLs to limit static RP groups
You can limit the number of multicast groups covered by a static RP using standard ACLs. In the
ACL, you specify the group to which the RP address applies. The following examples set the RP
address to be applied to multicast groups with some minor variations.
