OMMANDS
the filtering conditions for the routing information to be received. Only the routing 
information passing the filtration can be received.
The filter-policy import command is used to filter the routes calculated by OSPF. 
Only the routes that pass the filter are added into the routing table. The command 
can filter the routes by next hop or by destination address.
Because OSPF is a link state-based dynamic routing protocol, its routing 
information is hidden in LSAs. OSPF, however, cannot filter advertised and received 
LSAs. Compared with the case with vector-based routing protocols, the use of this 
command is rather limited with OSPF.
Example
# Filter the received routing information according to the rule defined by the 
access control list 2000.
[SW8800] acl number 2000
 
[3Com-acl-basic-2000] rule permit source 20.0.0.0 0.255.255.255
 
[3Com-acl-basic-2000] rule deny source any

Parameter
acl-number: Specifies the number of the basic or advanced ACL used for filtering 
Type-3 LSAs.
ip-prefix-name: Specifies the name of the address prefix list used for filtering 
Type-3 LSAs.
Description
Use the filter-policy import command to set the filter condition for the Type-3 
LSAs received by an OSPF area.
Use the undo filter-policy import command to cancel the set filter condition.
By default, no received Type-3 LSA is filtered.
In some situations, it may be required that only some Type-3 LSAs meeting a 
certain condition be received. In this case, you can define a Filter-policy to set the 
filter condition for received Type-3 LSAs so that only the Type-3 LSAs having 
passed the filtration can be received.
Use the filter-policy import command to filter the Type-3 LSAs generated locally 
in an OSPF area so that only those Type-3 LSAs having passed the filtration can be 
added into the link state database of the other areas. The filtration is implemented 
according to the link state ID of the Type-3 LSAs.
