Prefix-list matching to set community

Cody Lo

Level 1

I would like to know if the following configuration, the announced route "192.168.1.0/24" will have the community "123:200 123:999" or "123:200 123:600", or other combination of community attribute? Thank you!

ip prefix-list routes1 seq 5 permit 192.168.1.0/24

ip prefix-list routes2 seq 5 permit 192.168.1.0/24

ip prefix-list routes2 seq 10 permit 192.168.100.0/24

!

route-map COMMUNITY_TO_R1 permit 10

match ip address prefix-list routes1

set community 123:200 123:999

route-map COMMUNITY_TO_R1 permit 20

match ip address prefix-list routes2

set community 123:200 123:600

Cody,

That's correct. If you need it to match another one in a later sequence you could use the "continue" clause in the route-map.

ip prefix-list Test permit 192.168.1.0/24

ip prefix-list Test2 permit 192.168.1.0/24

ip prefix-list Test2 permit 192.168.2.0/24

route-map Testing permit 10

match ip address prefix Test

set community 123:999

continue

route-map Testing permit 20

match ip address prefix Test2

set metric 50

The above would set your community to 123:999 and it would set both 192.168.1.0/24 and 192.168.2.0/24 metrics to 50. If you didn't have the continue, it would only set the metric to 50 for the 192.168.2.0/24 subnet.

Cody,

It should be matching your first sequence in your route-map.

Ho John,

Thanks for the prompt reply.

Does that mean if a route appear in 2 different prefix list and match in the same route map it will only match and altered at "permit 10" but not "permit 20" ?

Thanks!

Cody,

That's correct. If you need it to match another one in a later sequence you could use the "continue" clause in the route-map.

ip prefix-list Test permit 192.168.1.0/24

ip prefix-list Test2 permit 192.168.1.0/24

ip prefix-list Test2 permit 192.168.2.0/24

route-map Testing permit 10

match ip address prefix Test

set community 123:999

continue

route-map Testing permit 20

match ip address prefix Test2

set metric 50

The above would set your community to 123:999 and it would set both 192.168.1.0/24 and 192.168.2.0/24 metrics to 50. If you didn't have the continue, it would only set the metric to 50 for the 192.168.2.0/24 subnet.
