Cannot define set in route-map

[#1]

Hello

When configuring a route-map, set commands like "set next-hop ..." are not available. When typing "help set", only "set metric" and "set metric type" are available.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks

CISCO ASA 5510

You need ASA version 9.4(1) and above for Policy based routing. ASA 9.4 release notes: 

https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/security/asa/asa94/release/notes/asarn94.html#reference_yq2_phm_pz

"Policy Based Routing (PBR) is a mechanism by which traffic is routed through specific paths with a specified QoS using ACLs. ACLs let traffic be classified based on the content of the packet’s Layer 3 and Layer 4 headers. This solution lets administrators provide QoS to differentiated traffic, distribute interactive and batch traffic among low-bandwidth, low-cost permanent paths and high-bandwidth, high-cost switched paths, and allows Internet service providers and other organizations to route traffic originating from various sets of users through well-defined Internet connections.

We introduced the following commands: set ip next-hop verify-availability, set ip next-hop, set ip next-hop recursive, set interface, set ip default next-hop, set default interface, set ip df, set ip dscp, policy-route route-map, show policy-route, debug policy-route"

Since you are running the older ASA5510 model, you will not be able to upgrade to 9.4 release. You would need to get new hardware for this configuration.

Thanks for answering. This is very clear.

Does that mean that route map is only useful to change the metric on my firewall?
