Question & Answer


Question

What is the purpose of the AS_Boundary_Routing configuration statement of the OMPROUTE application?

Answer

The AS_Boundary_Routing statement is used by OMPROUTE's OSPF routing protocol to do the following:

  • Import RIP, static, or direct routes into the OSPF domain. Direct routes are generic routes generated from plain-vanilla INTERFACE statements.

  • Import subnet routes that are neither RIP, static, nor direct (generic) into the OSPF domain.

  • Originate an OSPF external default route.

  • Allow OSPF to learn RIP or OSPF external default routes

If you are not using OSPF, the AS_Boundary_Routing statement is not needed.
