Configuring IP, ARP, RIP, and OSPF Services

Periodically, the routing table manager announces routes to other routers in the
network as follows:
1. The routing table manager forwards a route for advertisement to the protocol.
2. The protocol consults an announce policy to determine whether or not to
advertise the route to the network.
For instructions on configuring RIP policies, see “Configuring RIP Accept and
Announce Policies” on page 5-24.
For descriptions of IP import and export filter parameters, see Appendix C
.
How OSPF Implements Routing Policies
The way OSPF applies accept and announce policies to routing information
differs in several ways from the procedure shown in Figure 1-7. OSPF link state
advertisements (LSAs) are received and placed in the link state database (LSDB)
of the router. The information in the LSDB is also propagated to other routers in
the OSPF routing domain.
According to the OSPF standard, all routers in a given area must maintain a
similar database. To maintain database integrity across the network, a router must
not manipulate received LSAs before propagating them to other routers. To
accomplish this, OSPF accept and announce policies act in the following manner:
• OSPF accept policies control which OSPF non-self-originated external
routing information is passed to the routing table manager. The accept policies
control only what the local router uses; they do not affect the propagation of
OSPF internal and OSPF non-self-originated external information to other
routers.
• OSPF announce policies control which self-originated external routing
updates are placed into the LSDB for distribution according to the OSPF
standard. OSPF announce policies affect what other routers learn but only
with regard to the local router’s self-originated information.
For instructions on configuring OSPF policies, see “Configuring OSPF Accept
and Announce Policies” on page 6-56.
