A route map is a tool for matching routes and setting route properties. A route map consists of multiple statements, and each statement consists of some match clauses and set clauses. The match clauses define the matching rules of the statement, and the set clauses define the follow-up actions after a route match the match clauses. The match clauses are in the OR relation, that is, a route must match all match clauses of the statement.
The route map statements are in the OR relation. When a route tries to match a route map, it checks the entries in the sequence of small to large. Once a route matches a statement, it matches the route map, and the next statement will no longer be checked. If a route fails to match a statement, it fails to match the route map.
Configuration Condition
Before configuring a route map, ensure that:
- The ACL, prefix list, AS-PATH, and Community-list or Extcommunity-list that are required for configuring a route map have been configured.
Create a Route Map
In creating a route map, you can specify the match mode of the statements of the route map. Two match modes are available: permit and deny.
The permit mode sets the matching mode of the statements of the route map to permit, that is, if a route matches all match clauses of the statement, the route is allowed to pass, and then the set clauses of the statement are executed. If a route fails to match the match clauses of the statement, it starts to match the next statement of the route map.
The deny mode sets the matching mode of the statements of the route map to deny, that is, when a route matches all match clauses of a statement, the route is denied, and the route will not match the next statement of the route map. In deny mode, set clauses will not be executed.

Enter the global configuration mode.

|
|
Create a route map.
|
route-map map-name [ { permit | deny } [ seq-number ] ]
|
Mandatory.
By default, no route map is created.
|
-
If you run the route-map command to create a route map, if you configure only the route map name but do not configure the match mode and statement serial number, a statement whose match mode is permit and serial number is 10 is automatically created.
- If a route map is applied to the routing protocol but the route map has not been configured, all objects will fail to match.
Configure the Match Clauses of a Route Map
The match clauses of a route map statement are in the OR relation, that is, a route must match all match clauses before it is allowed to pass.

Specify the AS-PATH list that the route map matches.
|
match as-path path-list-number
|
Optional.
By default, no AS-PATH list that the route map matches is specified.

|
Optional.
By default, no BGP Extcommunity-list that the route map matches is specified.
|
|
Specify the interface that the route map matches.

match interface interface-names
|
Optional.
By default, no interface that the route map matches is specified.
|
|
Specify the route prefix that the route map matches.
|
match ip address { access-list-number | access-list-name | prefix-list prefix-list-name }
|
Optional.
By default, no route prefix that the route map matches is specified.
|
|
Specify the next-hop address that the route map matches.
|
match ip next-hop { access-list-name | prefix-list prefix-list-name }
|
Optional.
By default, no next-hop address that the route map matches is specified.
|
|
Specify the source route address that the route map matches.
|
match ip route-source { access-list-name | prefix-list prefix-list-name }
|
Optional.
By default, no source route address that the route map matches is specified.
|
|
Specify the route metric value that the route map matches.
|

|
Optional.
By default, no route metric value that the route map matches is specified.
|
|
Specify the routing type that the route map matches.
|
match route-type { external / interarea / internal / level-1 / level-2 / nssa-external / type-1 / type-2 }
|
Optional.
By default, no routing type that the route map matches is specified.
|
|
Specify the tag value that the route map matches.
|
match tag tag-value
|
Optional.

|
-
If a route map is not configured with match clauses, all objects can match the route map successfully.
- When the ACL and prefix list that are associated with the match clauses do not exist, no object can match the route map.
Configure the Set Clauses of a Route Map
When the route map match mode is permit, if a route matches all match clauses, the set operations will be executed. If the match mode is deny, the set operations will not be performed.
