route-map (Route Map)
Use this command to configure a route map entry, and to specify whether the device will
process or discard matching routes and BGP update messages.
The switch uses a name to identify the route map, and a sequence number to identify each
entry in the route map.
The route-map command puts you into route-map configuration mode. In this mode, you
can use the following:
one or more of the match commands to create match clauses. These specify what
routes or update messages match the entry.
one or more of the set commands to create set clauses. These change the attributes of
matching routes or update messages.
Use the no variant of this command to delete a route map or to delete an entry from a
route map.
Syntax route-map <mapname> {deny|permit} <seq>
no route-map <mapname>
no route-map <mapname> {deny|permit} <seq>
Mode
Global Configuration
Usage Route maps allow you to control and modify routing information by filtering routes and
setting route attributes. You can apply route maps when the device:
processes BGP update messages that it has received from a peer
prepares BGP update messages to send to peers
redistributes routes from one routing protocol into another
redistributes static routes into routing protocols
uses BGP route flap dampening
When a routing protocol passes a route or update message through a route map, it checks
the entries in order of their sequence numbers, starting with the lowest numbered entry.
If it finds a match on a route map with an action of permit, then it applies any set clauses
and accepts the route. Having found a match, the route is not compared against any
further entries of the route map.
If it finds a match on a route map with an action of deny, it will discard the matching route.
Parameter Description
<mapname> A name to identify the route map.
deny The route map causes a routing process to discard matching routes
or BGP update messages.
permit The route map causes a routing process to use matching routes or
BGP update messages.
<seq> <1-65535> The sequence number of the entry. You can use this
parameter to control the order of entries in this route map.
