Filters

Routing policies can use the following filters to match routes.

ACLs include IPv4 ACLs and IPv6 ACLs. An ACL can match the destination or next hop of routes.

For more information about ACLs, see ACL and QoS Configuration Guide.

IP prefix lists include IPv4 prefix lists and IPv6 prefix lists.

An IP prefix list matches the destination address of routes. You can use the gateway option to receive routes only from specific routers. For more information about the gateway option, see "Configuring RIP" and "Configuring OSPF."

An IP prefix list can contain multiple items that specify prefix ranges. Each destination IP address prefix of a route is compared with these items in ascending order of their index numbers. A prefix matches the IP prefix list if it matches one item in the list.

An AS path list matches the AS_PATH attribute of BGP routes.

For more information about AS path lists, see "Configuring BGP."

A community list matches the COMMUNITY attribute of BGP routes.

For more information about community lists, see "Configuring BGP."

An extended community list matches the extended community attribute (Route-Target for VPN and Site of Origin) of BGP routes.

For more information about extended community lists, see MPLS Configuration Guide.

A MAC list matches MAC addresses contained in EVI IS-IS packets.

A MAC list can contain multiple items that specify MAC address ranges. Each MAC address entry in an EVI IS-IS packet is compared with these items in ascending order of their index numbers. A MAC address entry matches the MAC list if it matches one item in the list.
