Usage
Information
Dell EMC 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 EMC Networking OS continue to be accepted. To enforce the limit in
such situation, use the clear ip msdp sa-cache command.
