OSPF Policy Attach Points
This section describes each of the OSPF policy attach points and provides a summary of the OSPF
attributes and operators.

Default-Information Originate
The default-information originate attach point allows the user to conditionally inject the default route
0.0.0.0/0 into the OSPF link-state database, which is done by evaluating the attached policy. If any routes
in the local RIB pass the policy, then the default route is inserted into the link-state database.
The following example shows how to generate a default route if any of the routes that match 10.0.0.0/8
ge 8 le 25 are present in the RIB:
route-policy ospf-originate
if rib-has-route in (10.0.0.0/8 ge 8 le 25) then
pass
endif
end-policy

Redistribute
The redistribute attach point within OSPF injects routes from other routing protocol sources into the
OSPF link-state database, which is done by selecting the routes it wants to import from each protocol.
It then sets the OSPF parameters of cost and metric type. The policy can control how the routes are
injected into OSPF by using the set metric-type or set ospf-metric command.
The following example shows how to redistribute routes from IS-IS instance instance_10 into OSPF
instance 1 using the policy OSPF-redist. The policy sets the metric type to type-2 for all redistributed
routes. IS-IS routes with a tag of 10 have their cost set to 100, and IS-IS routes with a tag of 20 have
their OSPF cost set to 200. Any IS-IS routes not carrying a tag of either 10 or 20 are not be redistributed
into the OSPF link-state database.
route-policy OSPF-redist
set metric-type type-2
if tag eq 10 then
set ospf cost 100
elseif tag eq 20 then
set ospf cost 200
else
drop
endif
end-policy
router ospf 1
