[Xorp-users] policy on static route

[Andy Yuen]

Hi

Suppose there is a node 10.2.2.2. I want to set up a policy such that 
the next-hop to destination 10.1.1.0/24 is 10.2.5.5 when some metric or 
tag value is 1 and the next-hop is 10.2.4.4 when the corresponding 
metric  or value is 2. Is it possible to define policy statement for 
static routes?

Normally, I want to use 10.2.5.5, but occasionally I want to use 
10.2.4.4 based on the current value of metric as defined in the policy 
statement. The reason behind doing this is making it possible to modify 
the static route by modifying a metric value only, instead of uploading 
the whole router configuration with new static route. This try to 
emulate multi-topology routing, where the metric value corresponds to 
the DSCP value.

I use the following but get an error when this is loaded to the 
configuration.
Thanks
Andy

PS On the user manual, it says it is possible to define export policy 
for static routes. Wonder how that is done.

 static {
       * export: "myroutes"*
        route 10.1.1.0/24 {
                next-hop: 10.2.5.5
        }
        disable: false
        interface-route 0.0.0.0/0 {
            next-hop-interface: "my_discard"
            next-hop-vif: "my_discard"
            next-hop-router: 0.0.0.0
            metric: 1
        }
    }

policy{
   policy-statement "myroutes" {
   term a{
        from{
           protocol: "static"
        }
        to {
        }
        then {
        metric: 2
        }
   }
   term b{
        from{
        protocol: "static"
        metric :  1
        network4: 10.1.1.0/24
        }
        to {
        }
        then {
           nexthop4: 10.2.5.5
        }
   }
   term c{
        from{
           protocol: "static"
           metric : 2
           network4: 10.1.1.0/24
        }
        to {
        }
        then {
           nexthop4: 10.2.4.4
        }
   }
   }
}
