The RUCKUS ICX Multicast Source Discovery Protocol router must be configured to filter source-active multicast advertisements to external MSDP peers to avoid global visibility of local-only multicast sources and groups.

Description
To avoid global visibility of local information, there are a number of source-group (S, G) states in a PIM-SM domain that must not be leaked to another domain, such as multicast sources with private address, administratively scoped multicast addresses, and the auto-RP groups (224.0.1.39 and 224.0.1.40).
Allowing a multicast distribution tree, local to the core, to extend beyond its boundary could enable local multicast traffic to leak into other autonomous systems and customer networks.
ℹ️ Check
Check for SA filter on MSDP peer:
ICX# show msdp peer x.x.x.x | include Output
Output SA Filter:Applicable
Output (S,G) route-map:out_MSDP_SA_filter
Output RP route-map:None
If any configured MSDP peer is not configured to filter outbound advertisements to avoid local-only multicast sources and groups, this is a finding.
✔️ Fix
Create access list to filter source-active multicast advertisements for any undesirable multicast groups and sources:
ip access-list extended out_MSDP_SA_filter
sequence 10 deny ip 10.0.0.0/8 any
sequence 20 permit ip any any
route-map out_MSDP_SA_filter permit 10
match ip address out_MSDP_SA_filter
router msdp
msdp-peer x.x.x.x
sa-filter originate route-map out_MSDP_SA_filter
