Route-map

#route-map name permit ?

# <0-65535>

Can we give whatever number here, not sure on the use case.

Hello,

what are you asking ? If the route map can have any name you want ? If so, yes. The name is totally up to you.

Hello,

the number is just a sequence, you can use whatever number you want. Lower numbers appear above higher numbers, e.g.:

route-map TEST permit 10

!

route-map TEST permit 20

As Georg points out the choice of a number is essentially an arbitrary choice for the first stanza of the route map. If there is more than one stanza in the route map then the number determines the order in which the stanzas will be executed. Normal practice is to provide some gap in the numbering (10, 20, 30, etc) so that in the future you want to insert another stanza in between two existing stanzas there is room to insert it.

Hello
Just like to add, its important to understand not only are route-maps executed in numeric order (low-to high) as stated by others but also they have a logic to them that's can be a bit confusing.

Depending on how the route-map stanza is created (permit/deny) would depend then how its eventually serviced, So you need to be cautious when implementing them, as they can have an effect that you don't expect them have.
