Reference Guide

When there are multiple match commands with the same parameter under one instance of route-map, FTOS does a
match between all of those match commands. If there are multiple match commands with different parameters, FTOS
does a match ONLY if there is a match among ALL the
match commands.
In the following example, there is a match if a route has any of the tag values specified in the match commands.
Example of the match Command to Match Any of Several Values
FTOS(conf)#route-map force permit 10
FTOS(config-route-map)#match tag 1000
FTOS(config-route-map)#match tag 2000
FTOS(config-route-map)#match tag 3000
In the next example, there is a match only if a route has both of the specified characteristics. In this example, there a
match only if the route has a tag value of 1000 and a metric value of 2000.
Also, if there are different instances of the same route-map, then it’s sufficient if a permit match happens in any instance
of that route-map.
Example of the match Command to Match All Specified Values
FTOS(conf)#route-map force permit 10
FTOS(config-route-map)#match tag 1000
FTOS(config-route-map)#match metric 2000
In the following example, instance 10 permits the route having a tag value of 1000 and instances 20 and 30 deny the route
having a tag value of 1000. In this scenario, FTOS scans all the instances of the route-map for any permit statement. If
there is a match anywhere, the route is permitted. However, other instances of the route-map deny it.
Example of the match Command to Permit and Deny Routes
FTOS(conf)#route-map force permit 10
FTOS(config-route-map)#match tag 1000
FTOS(conf)#route-map force deny 20
FTOS(config-route-map)#match tag 1000
FTOS(conf)#route-map force deny 30
FTOS(config-route-map)#match tag 1000
Configuring Match Routes
To configure match criterion for a route map, use the following commands.
• Match routes with the same AS-PATH numbers.
CONFIG-ROUTE-MAP mode
match as-path as-path-name
• Match routes with COMMUNITY list attributes in their path.
CONFIG-ROUTE-MAP mode
match community community-list-name [exact]
• Match routes whose next hop is a specific interface.
CONFIG-ROUTE-MAP mode
match interface interface
The parameters are:
– For a Fast Ethernet interface, enter the keyword FastEthernet then the slot/ port information.
– For a 1-Gigabit Ethernet interface, enter the keyword gigabitEthernet then the slot/port information.
