    Configuring Routing Policies (J-Web Procedure)

    All routing protocols use the Junos OS routing table to store the routes that they learn and to determine which routes are advertised in the protocol packets. Routing policy allows you to control which routes the routing protocols store in and retrieve from the routing table on the routing device.

    To configure routing policies for an EX Series switch using the J-Web interface:

    1. Select Configure > Routing > Policies.

      Note: After you make changes to the configuration in this page, you must commit the changes for them to take effect. To commit all changes to the active configuration, select Commit Options > Commit. See Using the Commit Options to Commit Configuration Changes for details about all commit options.

    2. Click one:
      • Global Options—Configures global options for policies. Enter information into the configuration page as described in Table 1.
      • Add—Configures a new policy. Select New and specify a policy name. To add terms, enter information into the configuration page as described in Table 2. Select Clone to create a copy of an existing policy.
      • Edit—Edits an existing policy. To modify an existing term, enter information into the configuration page as described in Table 2.
      • Term Up—Moves a term up in the list.
      • Term Down—Moves a term down in the list.
      • Delete—Deletes the selected policy.
      • Test Policy—Tests the policy. Use this option to check whether the policy produces the results that you expect.
