Configure a Policy to Accept External Routes from a Router
Perform this procedure to configure a policy to accept external routes from a specified advertising router.
Note
-
For an in-policy (RIP, BGP) or an accept policy (OSPF) using a route-map, if a particular route is not explicitly denied in the accept policy or in-policy with the route-map, then the route is implicitly allowed.
-
For an out-policy (RIP, BGP) or a redistribute policy (RIP, OSPF, BGP) using a route-map, even if a particular route is not explicitly allowed in the redistribution policy or out-policy with the route-map, then the route is implicitly denied.
-
In order to permit or deny only explicit routes, configure a policy with additional sequences, where, the last sequence permits all routes that are not explicitly permitted or denied.
Procedure
Example
Log on to the OSPF Router Configuration mode:
Switch:1>enable Switch:1#configure terminal Switch:1(config)#router ospf
Create a policy to accept external routes from a specified advertising route:
Switch:1(config-ospf)#accept adv-rtr 192.0.2.122
Enable an OSPF accept entry for a specified advertising route:
Switch:1(config-ospf)#accept adv-rtr 192.0.2.122 enable
Exit to the Privileged EXEC mode:
Switch:1(config-ospf)#exit Switch:1(config)#exit
Apply the OSPF accept policy change and confirm your configuration:
Switch:1#ip ospf apply accept adv-rtr 192.0.2.122 Switch:1#show ip ospf accept ================================================================================ Ospf Accept - GlobalRouter ================================================================================ ADV_RTR MET_TYPE ENABLE POLICY -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 192.0.2.122 - FALSE
Variable definitions
Use the data in the following table to use the accept adv-rtr command.
Variable |
Value |
---|---|
<A.B.C.D> |
Specifies the IP address. |
enable |
Enables an OSPF accept entry for a specified advertising router. Use the no operator to disable an OSPF accept entry: no accept adv-rtr <A.B.C.D> enable |
metric-type {type1|type2|} |
Indicates the OSPF external type. This parameter describes which types of OSPF external routes match this entry. means match all external routes. type1 means match external type 1 only. type2 means match external type 2 only. Use the no operator to disable metric-type: no ip ospf accept adv-rtr <A.B.C.D> metric-type |
route-map WORD<0-64> |
Specifies the name of the route policy to use for filtering external routes advertised by the specified advertising router before accepting into the routing table. |
