Creating an OSPF announce policy

OSPF policies are configured in the same manner as RIP. After interface routes or network routes and lists are created, set up policies in the OSPF Policy dialog boxes.

To set up or edit an OSPF announce policy:

1. Choose IP Routing > Policy > OSPF Announce Policy.

The Policy dialog box opens with the OSPF Announce tab displayed.

2. Click the Insert button.
3. The Insert OSPF Announce dialog box opens.
4. Enter information in the fields as defined in the table below.
5. Click Insert to enter.
