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).

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.

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.

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
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.

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
