57BConfiguring routing policies

The term "router" in this document refers to both routers and routing-capable firewalls and UTM devices.

Routing policy can be configured only at the CLI.

Routing policies control routing paths by filtering and modifying routing information. This chapter

describes both IPv4 and IPv6 routing policies.

Overview

Routing policies can filter advertised, received, and redistributed routes, and modify attributes for specific

routes.

To configure a routing policy:

1. Configure filters based on route attributes, such as destination address and the advertising router's

address.

2. Create a routing policy and apply filters to the routing policy.

1037BFilters

The filters that routing protocols can use to filter routes include ACL, IP prefix list, AS path list, community

list, extended community list, and routing policy. These filters cannot work alone. They must be

referenced by specific commands to take effect. A routing policy can use all the other filters as its own

match criteria.

1858BACL

ACLs fall into IPv4 ACLs and IPv6 ACLs. An ACL can match the destination or next hop of routing

information.

For more information about ACL, see Access Control Configuration Guide.

1859BIP prefix list

IP prefix lists falls into IPv4 prefix lists and IPv6 prefix lists.
