Policy Rules

Route Map

Route maps define conditions for redistributing routes between routing protocols. A route map clause is identified by a name, filter type (permit or deny) and a sequence number. Clauses with the same name are components of a single route map; the sequence number determines the order in which the clauses are compared to a route.

Warning

Route maps can be used only for the BGP protocol.

Warning

Route maps cannot be used for the commands “network” or “redistribute”.

Route Map Commands

route-map

	route-map <map-name> [deny \| permit] [sequence-number] no route-map <map-tag> {deny \| permit} [<sequence-number>] Creates a route map that can be used for importing, exporting routes and applying local policies. The no form of the command deletes configured route maps.
Syntax Description	name	Name of the route-map
	deny \| permit	Configures the rule to be used
	sequence-number	Sequence number for a route-map specific record
Default	N/A
Configuration Mode	config
History	3.3.5006
Example	switch (config) # route-map mymap permit 1200 switch (config route-map mymap permit 1200)#
Related Commands
Notes	All changes in a the route map configuration mode become pending until the end of the route-map session If not configured, deny \| permit is configured as permit If not configured, sequence-number default value is 10

continue

	continue <sequence-number> no continue Enables additional route map evaluation of routes whose parameters meet the clause’s matching criteria. The no form of the command removes this configuration from the route map clause.
Syntax Description	N/A
Default	N/A
Configuration Mode	config route map
History	3.3.5006
Example	switch (config route-map mymap permit 10)# match as-number 40 switch (config route-map mymap permit 10)# set weight 7 switch (config route-map mymap permit 10)# continue 1200 switch (config route-map mymap permit 10)# exit
Related Commands	route-map <map-name> [deny \| permit] [sequence-number]
Notes	A clause typically contains a match (route-map) and a set (route-map) statement. The evaluation of routes whose settings are the same as match statement parameters normally end and the clause’s set statement are applied to the route. Routes that match a clause containing a continue statement are evaluated against the clause specified by the continue statement. When a route matches multiple route-map clauses, the filter action (deny or permit) is determined by the last clause that the route matches. The set statements in all clauses matching the route are applied to the route after the route map evaluation is complete. Multiple set statements are applied in the same order by which the route was evaluated against the clauses containing them. Continue cannot be set to go back to a previous clause; <sequence-number> of the continue must always be higher than the current clause’s sequence number.

abort

	abort Discards pending changes and returns to global configuration mode.
Syntax Description	N/A
Default	N/A
Configuration Mode	config route map
History	3.3.5006
Example	switch (config route-map mymap permit 10)# abort
Related Commands
Notes

match as-number

	match as-number <number> no match as-number Filters according to one of the AS numbers in the AS path of the route. The no form of the command removes this configuration from the route map clause.

Default	N/A
Configuration Mode	config route map
History	3.3.5006
Example	switch (config route-map mymap permit 10)# match as-number 40
Related Commands
Notes	When a clause contains multiple match commands, the permit or deny filter applies to a route only if its properties are equal to corresponding parameters in each match statement When a route’s properties do not equal the statement parameters, the route is evaluated against the next clause in the route map, as determined by sequence number If all clauses fail to permit or deny the route, the route is denied

match as-path

	match as-path <as-path-list name> no match as-path Creates a route map clause entry that matches the route‘s AS path using an as-path access-list. The no form of the command removes the match statement from the configuration mode route map clause.
Syntax Description	number	Autonomous system number to check
Default	N/A
Configuration Mode	config route map
History	3.3.5006
History	3.6.3004	Added note
Example	switch (config route-map mymap permit 10)# match as-path my-list
Related Commands
Notes	When a clause contains multiple match commands, the permit or deny filter applies to a route only if its properties are equal to corresponding parameters in each match statement When a route’s properties do not equal the statement parameters, the route is evaluated against the next clause in the route map, as determined by sequence number If all clauses fail to permit or deny the route, the route is denied An as-path-list must already exist before a node is configured to use it

match community-list

	match community <communities-list-name> exact-match no match community <communities-list-name> exact-match Creates a route map clause entry that specifies one route filtering condition. The no form of the command removes the match clause.

History	3.3.5006
Example	switch (config route-map mymap permit 10)# match community-list COM_LIST exact-match
Related Commands
Notes	When a clause contains multiple match commands, the permit or deny filter applies to a route only if its properties are equal to corresponding parameters in each match statement. When a route’s properties do not equal the statement parameters, the route is evaluated against the next clause in the route map, as determined by sequence number. If all clauses fail to permit or deny the route, the route is denied.

match ip/ipv6 address

	match ip address <prefix-list-name> no match ip address match ipv6 address <prefix-list-name> no match ipv6 address Filters according to IPv4/IPv6 prefix list. The no form of the command removes this configuration from the route map clause.

IP Prefix-List

IP prefix-lists are used to match two components of IP packets or an IP route. Prefix-list is a list of entries that include an IP network address and a bit mask (Range: 1 to 32 and should match the input IP network address).

Configuring Prefix-List with Multiple Entries

To create a new prefix-list with a large number of entries (50K for IPv4 or 25K for IPv6), use "configuration text fetch" to fetch a predefined prefix-list configuration file and then apply it as a whole.
In order to edit an existing prefix-list, the maximum entries that can be updated every time is 1K at most. An update operation of more than 1K entries can be achieved by doing this multiple times.

Configuration fetch example where fetch “prefix-list-001”:

IP Prefix-List Commands

ip prefix-list

	ip prefix-list <list-name> [seq <number>] no ip prefix-list <list-name> [seq <number>] ipv6 prefix-list <list-name> [seq <number>] no ipv6 prefix-list <list-name> [seq <number>] Configures or updates the IPv4 or IPv6 prefix-list in context mode. The no form of the command deletes the prefix-list or a prefix-list entry.
Syntax Description	list-name	String
Syntax Description	seq <number>	Sequence number assigned to entry Range: 0-4294967295 Default value: 10
Default	N/A
Configuration Mode	config
History	3.3.5200
	3.6.4070	Added support for IPv6
	3.8.2100	Updated maximum sequence value. Reorganized the command into ip prefix-list command and sub-commands.
Example	switch (config) # ip prefix-list list-name switch (config ip prefix-list list-name) # deny 1.1.1.0 /24 switch (config ip prefix-list list-name) # deny 1.1.2.0 /24 switch (config ip prefix-list list-name) # exit switch (config) # switch (config) # show ip prefix-list list-name prefix-list list-name: count: 2, range entries: 0, sequences: 10 - 20 Configuration: seq 10 deny 1.1.1.0 /24 eq 24 seq 20 deny 1.1.2.0 /24 eq 24
Related Commands	route-table prefix-list show ip bgp vrf address-family
Notes	The maximum entries for IPv4 prefix-list is 50K and for IPv6 is 25K.

ip prefix-list bulk-mode

	ip prefix-list <list-name> bulk-mode no ip prefix-list <list-name> bulk-mode Enables bulk-mode for a given prefix-list. Disables bulk-mode for a given prefix-list.
Syntax Description	list-name	String
Default	N/A
Configuration Mode	config
History	3.9.1900
Example	switch (config) # ip prefix-list list-name switch (config) # ip prefix-list list-name bulk-mode # bulk-mode will be enabled for the prefix-list switch (config) # ip prefix-list list-name seq 10 permit 20.20.20.20 /32 eq 32 switch (config) # ip prefix-list list-name seq 20 deny 21.21.21.21 /32 eq 32 switch (config) # ip prefix-list list-name commit # bulk setting of rules applied to Onyx, and bulk-mode for this prefix list is cleared.
Related Commands
Notes	In case of bulk-mode enabled, the prefix list rule configuration will be cached in CLI until 'commit' command is issued. Otherwise, the rule configuration will be applied immediately. To apply prefix list configuration in bulk-mode will improve performance greatly in case of a very large prefix list (50K and up). The bulk mode is enabled by default if prefix list rules are configured under CLI prefix mode. When 'exit' is issued to quit from the CLI prefix mode, CLI will aggregate all the rule configuration and apply the bulk setting to the system.

ip prefix-list commit

	ip prefix-list <list-name> commit If bulk-mode is enabled for the prefix list, then commit the whole prefix-list configuration and reset bulk mode (otherwise, nothing will happen).
Syntax Description	list-name	String
Default	N/A
Configuration Mode	config
History	3.9.1900
Example	switch (config) # ip prefix-list list-name commit
