Systems and methods for selectively transmitting routing information between separated local area network (LAN) interfaces are disclosed. In exemplary embodiments, a network appliance to update a local routing table with IP subnet, neighbor type, source type, and community identifier of a second network appliance; based at least on the local routing table, receive a customized routing policy and subnet exporting policy that permits the network appliance to export a subset of IP addresses from the local routing table to a permitted community of network appliances, wherein the customized routing policy and subnet exporting policy are configured by a network administrator of the network appliance; match the permitted community of network appliances to a new community identifier of a third network appliance; and export the subset of IP addresses of the local routing table to the third network appliance based on the customized routing policy and subnet exporting policy.

Selective routing

Systems and methods for selectively advertising routing information by a network appliance to a neighboring computing device are disclosed. In exemplary embodiments, customized export policies are created based on source type for each neighboring computing device to a network appliance. A source type for routing information is determined by the network appliance. The routing information is exported by the appliance to the neighboring computing device, such as a BGP router, based on the customized export policy associated with the source type.
