Configuring a specific link for a decision policy

From Policy Configuration mode, you can access Link Policy Configuration mode (confide-engine-policy-link), from which you can set any link parameter. For more information on how to access Link Policy Configuration mode, see Link Policy Configuration command mode.

Important: When you access Link Policy Configuration mode, the commands that you enter apply to the designated link only for those subnets associated with the current decision policy.

To configure a specific link:

  1. Access Link Policy Configuration command mode. For information on how to access this command mode, see Link Policy Configuration command mode
  2. Use the following commands to configure the link:
Table 16:  Link policy commands  
Command
Purpose

bgp-community assert if-winner <list>

bgp-community assert if-in-winner-set <list>

bgp-community assert if-not-in-winner-set <list>

Sets BGP community values for this link in this policy:
l assert if-winner--values are associated with routes only when the specified link is the winner as determined by the CNA decision-maker process
l assert if-in-winner-set--values are associated with routes only when the specified link is in the winner-set
l assert if-not-in-winner-set--values are associated with routes when the specified link is not in the winner set
outbound-bgp-community
Use bgp-community command
bgp-alternate-next-hop
BGP Alternate Next Hop
penalty
Assigns a numerical penalty to the link.

CNA uses the penalty value to calculate the performance metric for evaluating the link against other links.

winner-set-priority

Sets link priority in the winner set.

The APC engine uses this priority to choose the best link in the winner set.

For examples of the commands described in this section, see Examples.
