Route policy configuration using Enterprise Device Manager

This chapter describes the procedure you can use to configure route policies using Enterprise Device Manager (EDM).

Route policies are an Avaya proprietary improvement on existing routing schemes. Using existing routing schemes, packets are forwarded based on routes that have been learned by the router through routing protocols such as RIP and OSPF or through the introduction of static routes. Route policies introduce the ability to forward packets based on rule sets created by the network administrator. These rule sets, or policies, are then applied to the learned or static routes.

Configuring route policies

Use the following procedure to configure routing policies.

  1. Create the appropriate prefix lists.

  2. Assign those prefix lists to route policies.

  3. Apply the route policies to the appropriate policy type.
