Usage
Information
The continue feature allows movement from one route-map entry to a specific route-map
entry (the sequence number). If you do not specify the sequence number, the continue
feature simply moves to the next sequence number (also known as an implied continue). If a
match clause exists, the
continue feature executes only after a successful match occurs. If
there are no successful matches, the continue feature is ignored.
Match clause with Continue clause
The continue feature can exist without a match clause. A continue clause without a match
clause executes and jumps to the specified route-map entry.
With a match clause and a continue clause, the match clause executes first and the continue
clause next in a specified route map entry. The continue clause launches only after a
successful match. The behavior is:
A successful match with a continue clause, the route map executes the set clauses
and then goes to the specified route map entry upon execution of the continue clause.
If the next route map entry contains a continue clause, the route map executes the
continue clause if a successful match occurs.
If the next route map entry does not contain a continue clause, the route map
evaluates normally. If a match does not occur, the route map does not continue and
falls through to the next sequence number, if one exists.
Set Clause with Continue Clause
If the route-map entry contains sets with the continue clause, set actions are performed first
then the continue clause jumps to the specified route map entry.
If a set action occurs in the first route map entry and then the same set action occurs
with a different value in a subsequent route map entry, the last set of actions overrides
the previous set of actions with the same set command.
If set community additive and set as-path prepend are configure, the
communities and AS numbers are prepended.
