Route policies
Route policies are a Nortel proprietary improvement on existing routing
schemes. Using existing routing schemes, packets are forwarded based
on routes that have been learned by the router through routing protocols
such as RIP and OSPF or through the introduction of static routes. Route
policies introduce the ability to forward packets based on rule sets created
by the network administrator. These rule sets, or policies, are then applied
to the learned or static routes.
Route policies on the Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 5500 Series supports
the Routing Information Protocol (RIP) and Open Shortest Path First
(OSPF) protocol. When used in conjunction with these protocols, route
policies can be used to perform the following tasks that are not possible
using traditional routing methods:
•
Listen for routing updates from specific gateways.
•
Listen for routing updates from specific networks.
•
Assign a specific subnet mask to be included with a network in the
routing table.
•
Advertise routing updates from specific gateways.
•
Advertise routing updates to specific networks.
•
Assign a specific subnet mask to be included in the route summary
packets.
•
Advertise routes learned by one protocol to another.
