How do I create a region for an IGP Map Layout?

Purpose

Complete this procedure to add regions to the IGP Map Layout. You can create multiple regions.

Steps
 
1 

Open Map Layout.

2 

In the Map Layout view, select IGP from the Layer drop-down list.

3 

Click png15.png Add Region.

4 

In the Add Region form, specify a name and description for the region.

5 

Specify Routers for the region, either manually or through inclusion filters:

  • Add Routers to the region manually. Select Manual Entry from the drop-down list. Then click Import to import a comma-separated list of Router IDs.

  • Filter Routers based on advanced filter expressions. Select Filter Expression from the drop-down list. Then click png16.png Filter.

    In the Advanced Filter form, type a filter expression in the Filter Expression field, starting with a Router attribute, followed by a Boolean operator and an attribute value. The system suggests possible attributes, operators, and attribute values as you type, and displays error messages in red when an expression is invalid. You can combine attribute-value expressions using AND and OR operators.

    You can also use the Expression Builder; select a Filter Attribute, followed by a Filter Operator, and a Filter Value. Then click +Add. The expression is added to the Filter Expression field.

Note: If you are creating a filter to include a large number of routers, it is better to specify an attribute with a range of values to include the routers. Specifying a large number of individual router attribute values linked together with OR operators creates a complex inclusion filter that will burden system resources and possibly cause the import process to fail.

Any IPv6 addresses in an advanced filter expression must be enclosed in single quotation marks (‘ ‘).

The imported routers or filter-included routers are listed in the Create Region form.

Review the list of Routers to include in the region. Click Finish to save the region.
