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.
