This section describes how to configure the maximum number of invalid multicast protocol packets that a device can store. This configuration helps locate and rectify faults.
If multicast forwarding entries or Multicast Source Discovery Protocol (MSDP) peer relationships cannot be established on a network, you can configure the maximum number of invalid multicast protocol packets that the devices can store. Then you can check statistics and details about invalid multicast packets using related commands for troubleshooting.
multicast invalid-packet { igmp | msdp | pim } max-count max-number
By default, a device can store a maximum of 10 invalid packets for each multicast protocol.
