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.
