Parameters
peer-address: Specifies an MSDP peer by its IP address.
ttl-value: Specifies the lower TTL threshold in the range of 0 to 255.
Examples
# On the public network, set the lower TTL threshold for multicast packets to be encapsulated in SA
messages to 10. Only multicast data packets whose TTL value is larger than or equal to 10 can be
encapsulated in SA messages and forwarded to the MSDP peer 1 10.10.10.1.

Parameters
peer-address: Specifies an MSDP peer by its IP address.
cipher: Sets a ciphertext MD5 authentication key.
simple: Sets a plaintext MD5 authentication key.
password: Specifies the key string. This argument is case sensitive. If simple is specified, it must be a
string of 1 to 80 characters. If cipher is specified, it must be a ciphertext string of 33 to 137 characters.
Usage guidelines
The MSDP peers involved in MD5 authentication must be configured with the same authentication
method and key. Otherwise, the authentication fails and the TCP connection cannot be established.
For security purposes, all keys, including keys configured in plain text, are saved in cipher text.
