I am new to Juniper with a strong Cisco (CCIP) background and trying to develop the mindset required to understand some logic used by JunOS.
For instance, let's consider OSPF export policy. According to Juniper : "In the export statement, you list the name of the routing policy to be evaluated when routes are being exported from the routing table into OSPF."
Now, we do use the export statement under protocol OSPF, so I assume every statment here should be viewed from OSPF standpoint.
Can someone please explain the logic of calling this "export" when it is essentially an "import" from OSPF process perspective ? Don't we define the prefixes that is imported to OSPF from the routing table.
I am asking this, because I have the same confusion with BGP import/export definitions and would like to memorize somehow their's function.
Thank you.
