Fix Recommendation

Configure the MSDP switch to filter received source-active multicast advertisements for any undesirable multicast groups and sources as shown in the example below:

SW1(config)#ip access-list extended INBOUND_MSDP_SA_FILTER

SW1(config)#ip msdp sa-filter in x.1.28.2 list INBOUND_MSDP_SA_FILTER

Check Contents

Review the switch configuration to determine if there is import policy to block source-active multicast advertisements for any undesirable multicast groups, as well as any (S, G) states with undesirable source addresses.

Step 1: Verify that an inbound source-active filter is bound to each MSDP peer.

ip msdp peer x.1.28.2 remote-as 2
ip msdp sa-filter in x.1.28.2 list INBOUND_MSDP_SA_FILTER

Step 2: Review the access lists referenced by the source-active filter to verify that undesirable multicast groups, auto-RP, single source multicast (SSM) groups, and advertisements from undesirable sources are blocked.

ip access-list extended INBOUND_MSDP_SA_FILTER
deny ip any host 224.0.1.3
deny ip any host 224.0.1.24
deny ip any host 224.0.1.22
deny ip any host 224.0.1.2
deny ip any host 224.0.1.35
deny ip any host 224.0.1.60
deny ip any host 224.0.1.39
deny ip any host 224.0.1.40
deny ip any 232.0.0.0 0.255.255.255
deny ip any 239.0.0.0 0.255.255.255
deny ip 10.0.0.0 0.255.255.255 any
deny ip 127.0.0.0 0.255.255.255 any
deny ip 172.16.0.0 0.15.255.255 any
deny ip 192.168.0.0 0.0.255.255 any
permit ip any any

If the switch is not configured with an import policy to filter undesirable SA multicast advertisements, this is a finding.
