Command Reference
Description Route-policies are used for policy routing. One route-policy may contain multiple
nodes, each consisting of multiple if-match and apply clauses.
The if-match clauses of a route-policy node define the match rules whereas its apply
clauses define the actions performed on the packets filtered in by the node.
For a route-policy node, the relationship between its if-match clauses is AND for
packet filtering, meaning a packet is permitted by the node only when it matches all
if-match clauses.
For a route-policy, the relationship between its nodes is OR for packet filtering,
meaning a packet permitted by a route-policy node passes the filtering of the
route-policy. If the packet does not match any route-policy node, it is denied by the
route-policy.
