Policy, Insert Route Policy dialog box fields


Field Description
Id
This is the ID of an entry in the Prefix list table.
SequenceNumber
A second index used to identify a specific policy within a route policy group.
Name
This command is used during the creation process, or to rename a policy once it has been created. This command changes the name field for all sequence numbers under the given policy.
Enable
This field indicates whether this policy sequence number is enabled or disabled. If disabled the policy sequence number is ignored.
Mode
This field specifies the action to be taken when a policy is selected for a specific route. Select permit (allow the route) or deny (ignore the route).
MatchProtocol
Select the appropriate protocol. If configured, matches the protocol through which the route is learned. This field is used only for RIP announce purposes.
MatchNetwork
If configured, the switch matches the destination network against the contents of the specified prefix list.
Click the ellipse button and choose from the list in the MatchNetwork dialog box. You can select up to four entries. To deselect an entry, use the ALT key.
MatchIpRouteSource
If configured, matches the next hop IP address for RIP routes and advertising router IDs for OSPF routes against the contents of the specified prefix list. This option ignored for all other route types.
Click the ellipse button and choose from the list in the Match Route Source dialog box. You can select up to four entries. To deselect an entry, use the ALT key.
Note: This field can also be changed in the Route Policy tab of the Policy dialog box.
MatchNextHop
If configured, matches the next hop IP address of the route against the contents of the specified prefix list. This field applies only to non-local routes.
Click the ellipse button and choose from the list in the Match Next Hop dialog box. You can select up to four entries. To deselect an entry, use the ALT key.
MatchInterface
If configured, the switch matches the IP address of the interface by which the RIP route was learned against the contents of the specified prefix list. This field is used only for RIP routes and ignored for all other type of route.
Click the ellipse button and choose from the list in the Match Interface dialog box. You can select up to four entries. To deselect an entry, use the ALT key.
MatchRouteType
Sets a specific route-type to be matched (applies only to OSPF routes).
Externaltype1, and Externaltype2 specify the OSPF routes of the specified type only. OSPF internal refers to intra and inter area routes.
MatchMetric
If configured, the switch matches the metric of the incoming advertisement or existing route against the specified value (1to 655535). If 0, then this field is ignored. The default is 0.
MatchAsPath
Applicable to BGP protocol only. Match the BGP autonomous system path. This will override the BGP neighbor filter list information.
MatchCommunity
Applicable to BGP protocol only. This is used to filter incoming and outgoing updates based on a community list.
MatchCommunityExtract
Applicable to BGP protocol only. If enabled, it indicates the match has to exact (i.e., all of the communities specified in the path have to match). Default is disable.
MatchTag
Applicable to BGP protocol only. Specifies a list of tag(s), that will be used during the match criteria process. It contains one or more tag values.
NssaPbit
Set or reset the P bit in specified type 7 LSA. By default the P bit is always set in case the user set it to a disable state for a particular route policy than all type 7. LSAs associated with that route policy will have the P bit cleared with this intact NSSA ABR will not perform translation of these LSAs to type 5. Default is enable.
SetRoutePreference
Setting the preference greater than zero, specifies the route preference value to be assigned to the routes which matches this policy. This applies to Accept policies only.
You can set a value from 0 to 255. The default value is 0. If the default is configured, the global preference value is used.
SetMetricTypeInternal
This indicates to set the MED value for routes advertised to BGP numbers to the IGP metric value. Default is 0.
SetMetric
If configured, the switch sets the metric value for the route while announcing or redistributing. The default-import-metric is 0. If the default is configured, the original cost of the route is advertised into OSPF; for RIP, the original cost of the route or the default value is used.
SetMetricType
Applicable to OSPF protocol only.If configured, sets the metric type for the routes to be announced into the OSPF routing protocol that matches this policy. The default is type 2. This field is applicable only for OSPF announce policies.
SetNextHop
Applicable to BGP protocol only. This is the IP address of the next hop router. It is Ignored for DVMRP routes. Default is 0.0.0.0
SetInjectNetList
If configured, the switch replaces the destination network of the route that matches this policy with the contents of the specified prefix list. Click the ellipse button and choose from the list in the Set Inject NetList dialog box
SetMask
Applicable to RIP protocol only.If configured, the switch sets the mask of the route that matches this policy. This applies only to RIP accept policies.
SetAsPath
Applicable to BGP protocol only. The AS path value to be used whether the SetAsPathMode field is Tag or Prepend.
SetAsPathMode
Applicable to BGP protocol only. It can be either tag or Prepend tag. It is applicable only while redistributing routes to BGP. It converts the tag of a route into AS path.
SetAutomaticTag
Applicable to BGP protocol only. Default is disable.
SetCommunityNumber
Applicable to BGP protocol only. this value can be a number (1..42949672000) or no-export or no-advertise. Applicable to BGP advertisments.community number.
SetCommunityMode
Applicable to BGP protocol only. This value can be either append, none, or unchanged. Unchanged - keep the community attribute in the route path as it is. None - remove the community in the route path additive. Append - adds the community-number specified in SetCommunityNumber to the community list attribute. Default is unchanged.
SetOrigin
Applicable to BGP protocol only. Set to igp, egp, incomplete, or unchanged. If not set, the system uses the route origin from the Ip routing table (protocol). Default is unchanged.
SetLocalPref
Applicable to BGP protocol only. This value will be used during the route decision process in the BGP protocol. Default is 0.
SetOriginEgpAs
Applicable to BGP protocol only. Indicates the remote autonomous systems number. Default is 0.
SetTag
Applicable to BGP protocol only. This field is to be used for setting the tag of the destination routing protocol. If it is not specified, forward the tag value in the source routing protocol. A value of 0 indicates it is not set. Default is 0.
SetWeight
Applicable to BGP protocol only. This field should be used with match as-path condition. It is the weight value for the routing table. For BGP this value will override the weight configured through the NetworkTableEntry, FilterListWeight, or NeighborWeight. Default is 0.
