after a matching test against the node is successful, and the actions can be the
attribute settings of routing information.
The relationships among different nodes in a route-policy are “OR”. As a result, the
system examines the nodes in the route-policy in sequence, and once the route
passes a node in the route-policy, it will pass the matching test of the route-policy
without entering the test of the next node.
II. ACL
The S3600 series support four types of ACLs: advanced, basic, user-defined, and
layer 2 ACLs.
Normally, a basic ACL is used to filter routing information. You can specify a range of
IP addresses or subnets when defining a basic ACL so as to match the destination
network segment addresses or next-hop addresses of routing information. If an
advanced ACL is used, the specified range of source addresses will be used for
matching.
For ACL configuration, see the QoS/ACL configuration section of this manual.
III. ip-prefix
ip-prefix plays a role similar to ACL. But it is more flexible than ACL and easier to
understand. When ip-prefix is applied to filtering routing information, its matching
object is the destination address information field of routing information. Moreover,
with ip-prefix, you can use the gateway option to specify that only routing information
advertised by certain routers will be received.
An ip-prefix is identified by its ip-prefix name. Each ip-prefix can include multiple items,
and each item, identified by an index-number, can independently specify the match
range in network prefix form. An index-number specifies the matching sequence in
the ip-prefix.
During the matching, the router checks items identified by index-number in ascending
order. Once an item is met, the ip-prefix filtering is passed and no other item will be
checked.
