Usage 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 continue to be accepted. To enforce the limit in such situation, use the clear ip
msdp peer command to reset the peer.
