Syntax Description

area-identifier Specifies the OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) target area.
policy-map Specifies a policy.
none Specifies not to apply an external filter (removes the existing policy, if any).

Default

N/A.

Usage Guidelines

For switches configured to support multiple OSPF areas (an ABR function), a policy can be applied to an OSPF area that filters a set of OSPF external routes from being advertised into that area.

Using the none mode specifies that no external filter is applied.

configure ospf area 1.2.3.4 external-filter nosales
