filter import

Function

The filter import command filters the incoming summary LSAs of the local area.

The undo filter import command restores the default setting.

By default, the incoming summary LSAs cannot be filtered.

Format

filter { acl-number | ip-prefix ip-prefix-name | route-policy route-policy-name } import

undo filter [ acl-number| ip-prefix ip-prefix-name | route-policy route-policy-name ] import

Parameters

Parameter Description Value
acl-number Specifies the number of a basic ACL. The value is an integer that ranges from 2000 to 2999.
ip-prefix ip-prefix-name Specifies the name of an IP prefix list. It must be the name of an existing IP prefix list.
route-policy route-policy-name Specifies the name of a routing policy. It must be the name of an existing routing policy.

Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

After filtering conditions are set for the incoming summary LSAs to be advertised using the filter import command, only the incoming summary LSAs that pass the filtering can be received.

Configuration Impact

The command can be used to filter out invalid LSAs sent to neighbors to reduce the size of the LSDB and speed up network convergence.

Precautions

  • The command can be configured only on an ABR.
  • Run the filter export command to set filtering conditions for the outgoing summary LSAs to be advertised.

Creating an ACL before it is referenced is recommended. If a nonexistent ACL is referenced using the command, OSPF receives all Type 3 LSAs.

Creating an IP prefix list or route-policy before it is referenced is recommended. By default, nonexistent IP prefix lists or route-policies cannot be referenced using the command. If the route-policy nonexistent-config-check disable command is run in the system view and a nonexistent IP prefix list or route-policy is referenced using the current command, OSPF receives all Type 3 LSAs.

Example

# Filter incoming summary LSAs within the local area.

<sysname> system-view
[sysname] ospf 100
[sysname-ospf-100] area 1
[sysname-ospf-100-area-0.0.0.1] filter ip-prefix my-prefix-list import
