RIP routes
A default preference is assigned to each source from which the switch routing
process receives routes. Preference values range from 0 to 255 with the lowest
number indicating the most preferred route.
Table 14-1 summarizes the default preference values for routes learned in
various ways. The table lists the CLI commands that set preference, and shows
the types of routes to which each CLI command applies.

Import Policies

Import policies control the importation of routes from routing protocols and
their installation in the routing databases (Routing Information Base and
Forwarding Information Base). Import Policies determine which routes
received from other systems are used by the switch routing process. Every
import policy can have up to two components:
■

Import-Source

Route-Filter

■

Import-Source

This component specifies the source of the imported routes. It can also specify
the preference to be associated with the routes imported from this source.
The routes to be imported can be identified by their associated attributes:
■ Type of the source protocol (RIP and OSPF).
■ Source interface or gateway from which the route was received.
In some cases, a combination of the associated attributes can be specified to
identify the routes to be imported.
