Configuring Import and Export Route Filters
10-15
Parameter: Preference
Default: 0
Range: 0 to 16
Function: Assigns a weighted preference value to a route included in the routing
tables. If confronted with multiple routes to the same destination, the
router, by default, grants preference to routes in the following order:
direct, OSPF internal, static, BGP-3, OSPF external, EGP, and RIP.
Instructions: If this hierarchy is acceptable, accept the default value 0 for preference. If
you want to grant preference to this OSPF-derived route, assign a new
preference value in the range of 1 to 16 (the greater the number, the higher
the preference). Routes for all networks (0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0) should have the
lowest preference. Routes for the most specific networks (longest address
and mask) should have the highest preference.
MIB Object ID: 1.3.6.1.4.1.18.3.5.3.2.1.10.1.6
Editing an OSPF Import Route Filter
You can the edit Enable, Action, and Preference parameters for an OSPF import
route filter.
To edit these parameters, begin at the OSPF Import Route Filters List window and
proceed as follows:
Note: The default preference for static routes is 0, but it may be set to any
value between 0 and 16 (refer to “Editing Static Route Parameters” in
Chapter 2 for more information). If you want to grant an OSPF-derived route
preference over a static route, make sure the preference value you assign to the
OSPF-derived route is greater than the preference value of the static route you
want it to override.
Note: You cannot reconfigure the Import Address, Import Mask, Import Type
and Import Tag parameters for an OSPF import route filter. To change these
parameters, you must delete the filter and add a new filter with the proper
information. See “Deleting an OSPF Import Route Filter” on page 10-16 for
instructions. You cannot reconfigure the Import Address, Import Mask, Import
Type and Import Tag parameters for an OSPF import route filter. To change
these parameters, you must delete the filter and add a new filter with the
proper information. See “Deleting an OSPF Import Route Filter” on page 10-
16 for instructions.
