Information
The continue feature allows movement from one route-map entry to a specific route-map entry (the
sequence number). If the sequence number is not specified, the continue feature simply moves to
the next sequence number (also known as an implied continue). If a match clause exists, the continue
feature executes only after a successful match occurs. If there are no successful matches, continue is
ignored.
Match clause with Continue clause
The continue feature can exist without a match clause. A continue clause without a match clause
executes and jumps to the specified route-map entry.
With a match clause and a continue clause, the match clause executes first and the continue clause next
in a specified route map entry. The continue clause launches only after a successful match. The
behavior is:
• A successful match with a continue clause—the route map executes the set clauses and then goes
to the specified route map entry upon execution of the continue clause.
• If the next route map entry contains a continue clause, the route map will execute the continue
clause if a successful match occurs.
• If the next route map entry does not contain a continue clause, the route map evaluates normally. If
a match does not does not occur, the route map does not continue and will fall through to the next
sequence number, if one exists.
Set clause with Continue clause
If the route-map entry contains sets with the continue clause, then set actions is performed first
followed by the continue clause jump to the specified route map entry.
• If a set actions occurs in the first route map entry and then the same set action occurs with a
different value in a subsequent route map entry, the last set of actions overrides the previous set of
actions with the same set command.
• If set community additive and set as-path prepend are configure, the communities and AS
numbers are pre-pended.
