  1. Click on the Excluded Egress IP Addresses tab.

  2. Click on the Add button. The Select Excluded Egress IP Links form opens.

  3. Click on the Select Object Type button and choose one of the following:

    • ISIS Link (CPAM:Topology)

    • Non-Routed Link (CPAM: Topology)

    • OSPF Link (CPAM:Topology)

  4. Specify a filter and click on the Search button.

  5. Choose one or more links and click on the OK button. The Select Excluded Egress IP Links form closes.
