Important Considerations
■Route policies are clas sified as follows:
■Import policies import routing information from what RIP learns
from a router/neighbor to the unified routing table. (You can also
import routing information from Open Shortest Path First (OSPF).)
■Export policies send information from the routing table to RIP and
RIP routers, which controls what is going out on the wire to the RIP
domain. (You can also export from the routing table to OSPF.)
■The system assigns an index number to each policy and takes into
account all route policies set on the system, RIP and OSPF (You can
define up to 128 routing policies total, shared bet ween OSPF and RIP
policies).
■Certain conditions are associated with import and export policies. See
the import and export policy tables that follow the Options table for
lists of the conditions.
■You can set up an IP RIP or OSPF import or export policy to ac cept or
advertise the default route, as long as the default route exists in the
routing table. When you define a policy, you are always prompted for
the route subnet mask after the route address, regardless of whether
you specify the wildcard route address of 0.0.0.0. For m ore
information about the default route and routing polici es, see the
CoreBuilder 3500 Implementation Guide or the CoreBuilder 9000
Implementation Guide.
