Creating and editing a route policy

When you create a route-policy using Device Manager, you have the option of selecting the ID number. When you create a route-policy using the CLI, the route-policy ID is automatically generated.

You can configure route policies to be used for In, Out, and Redistribute purposes by all protocols.

Note: Changing route preferences is a process-oriented operation that can affect system performance and network reachability while performing the procedures. Therefore, Nortel Networks recommends that if you want to change a prefix list or a routing protocol, you should configure all route policies and prefix lists before enabling the protocols.
