Neighbor Export

The neighbor export attach point selects the BGP routes to send to a given peer or group of peers. The routes
are selected by running the set of possible BGP routes through the associated policy. Any routes that pass the
policy are then sent as updates to the peer or group of peers. The routes that are sent may have had their BGP
attributes altered by the policy that has been applied.
The following policy sends all BGP routes to neighbor 10.0.0.5. Routes that are tagged with any community
in the range 2:100 to 2:200 are sent with a MED of 100 and a community of 2:666. The rest of the routes are
sent with a MED of 200 and a community of 2:200.

Neighbor Import

The neighbor import attach point controls the reception of routes from a specific peer. All routes that are
received by a peer are run through the attached policy. Any routes that pass the attached policy are passed to
the BGP Routing Information Base (BRIB) as possible candidates for selection as best path routes.
When a BGP import policy is modified, it is necessary to rerun all the routes that have been received from
that peer against the new policy. The modified policy may now discard routes that were previously allowed
through, allow through previously discarded routes, or change the way the routes are modified. A new
configuration option in BGP (bgp auto-policy-soft-reset) that allows this modification to happen automatically
in cases for which either soft reconfiguration is configured or the BGP route-refresh capability has been
negotiated.
The following example shows how to receive routes from neighbor 10.0.0.1. Any routes received with the
community 3:100 have their local preference set to 100 and their community tag set to 2:666. All other routes
received from this peer have their local preference set to 200 and their community tag set to 2:200.
