OSPF: Configuring Route Maps for Filtering and Modifying OSPF Routes

External route type

The entry will match all routes of either Type 1 External or Type 2 External.

To match a route type, use the command:

match external {type-1type-2}

A prefix, by using a prefix list

The entry will match one or more route prefixes.

For information about creating a prefix list, see "About prefix lists" on page 22.

Once you have made the prefix list, apply it to the match clause of a route map entry by using the command:

match ip address prefix-list <list-name>

A prefix, by using an ACL

An ACL is an alternative to a prefix list for matching route prefixes.

For information about creating an ACL, see "About ACLs" on page 11.

Once you have made the ACL, apply it to the match clause of a route map entry by using the command:

match ip address <acl-number-or-name>

A next hop address

The entry will match the route’s next hop.

You can use either a prefix list or an ACL to specify a next hop address. Once you have made the prefix list or ACL, apply it to the match clause of a route map entry by using one of the commands:

match ip next-hop prefix-list <list-name> match ip next-hop <acl-number-or-name>

Configuring a set clause

If a route matches the match clause, then the action of the route map entry will be applied to that route. The action might simply be to permit or deny the route, or it might be to update its parameters by applying one or more set clauses.

Note: When configuring a set clause, make sure you are in route map mode for the same route map name sequence number as you used for the match clause.

The prompt should look like: awplus(config-route-map)#

A set clause can alter the following parameters on a route.

This makes it suitable for data centers and large enterprise networks where space and bandwidth optimization are critical.

In addition to scalability, the x908 series supports advanced Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching capabilities. This allows for efficient traffic management and routing, ensuring that data is delivered swiftly and reliably. The x908 also incorporates intelligent features such as Quality of Service (QoS), which prioritizes critical network traffic, ensuring that time-sensitive data—like voice and video—maintains its quality during transmission.

The SwitchBlade x900 series takes this functionality further with its innovative modular architecture. This allows organizations to configure their networks to meet specific needs by choosing from a variety of interface cards and service modules. The SwitchBlade x900 also supports advanced security features such as Access Control Lists (ACLs) and VLAN segmentation, which provide enhanced protection against unauthorized access and network threats.

Another hallmark of the x908 and SwitchBlade series is their support for high-speed Ethernet technologies, including 10G and 40G Ethernet. This enables organizations to keep pace with the increasing bandwidth demands of applications and services, particularly in cloud computing and data-intensive workloads.

Both the x908 and the SwitchBlade x900 series are designed with energy efficiency in mind, featuring power-saving technologies that reduce overall operational costs. Coupled with Allied Telesis' management tools, which provide detailed analytics and monitoring, network administrators can optimize performance and energy consumption simultaneously.

In summary, the Allied Telesis x908 and SwitchBlade x900 series offer a comprehensive suite of features, high performance, scalability, and advanced networking technologies. They represent a strategic investment for organizations looking to build resilient, efficient, and future-proof network infrastructures.
