HOWTO:Tag External-Type 2 routes for redistribution of direct connect routes Juniper SRX

 In this we will explore how to inject a direct connect route as a type2 and tag the route.

The network in this case is attached to my lo0 interface. This interface is NOT participate in any ospf area

e.g 

root@HOMESRX# show interfaces lo0 | display set 

set interfaces lo0 unit 0 family inet address 192.255.255.255/32

set interfaces lo0 unit 0 family inet address 192.255.55.254/28

set interfaces lo0 unit 0 family inet address 192.255.155.254/28

set interfaces lo0 unit 0 family inet6 address 2001:db8:8:8:8::1/128

So we have a requirement to inject only 192.255.55.240/28 as a type 2 external ospf and tag is 6788

So the steps are;

•  to set a prefix-list with the specific route
•  Build a policy-statement
•  and finally apply the export statement for the policy

Here's the junos cfg;

The downstream show the tag has been set and received on the ospf neighbor;
