NMC-RX 7.3.x User Guide, Vol. 2 > Configuring BGP Neighbors > Setting Route Policies

Setting Route Policies

With the NMC-RX application, the only route policy you can create for the BGP neighbor is a Distribute List policy. For the other types of route policies, you can select existing policies that were created through the Juniper Networks CLI.

Before you configure a Distribute List policy for the BGP neighbor, you need to create at least one access list if none already exists. See Creating Access Lists.

NOTE: Distribute lists are also known as access lists.

To use a distribute list:

1. Click the Route Policies tab.

A list of the policy types you can use for both inbound and outbound routing by the BGP neighbor appears.

2. Activate the desired policies in the Configured Parameters pane. Table 33 defines the BGP neighbor route policy types.
