Route Import and Export Policy Overview

The SSR family of routers supports extremely flexible routing policies. The SSR allows the network administrator to control import and export of routing information based on criteria including:

Individual protocol

Source and destination autonomous system

Source and destination interface

Previous hop router

Autonomous system path

Tag associated with routes

Specific destination address

The network administrator can specify a preference level for each combination of routing information being imported by using a flexible masking capability.

The SSR also provides the ability to create advanced and simple routing policies. Simple routing policies provide a quick route redistribution between various routing protocols (RIP and OSPF). Advanced routing policies provide more control over route redistribution.
