Associating an FC and Priority with a Route
This feature uses a command in the route-policy hierarchy to set the forwarding class and 
optionally the priority associated with routes accepted by a route-policy entry. The command 
has the following structure:
fc fc-name [priority {low | high}]
The use of this command is illustrated by the following example:
config>router>policy-options
begin
community gold members 300:100
policy-statement qppb_policy
entry 10
from
protocol bgp
community gold
exit
action accept
fc h1 priority high
exit
exit
exit
commit
The fc command is supported with all existing from and to match conditions in a route policy 
entry and with any action other than reject, it is supported with next-entry, next-policy and 
accept actions. If a next-entry or next-policy action results in multiple matching entries then 
the last entry with a QPPB action determines the forwarding class and priority.
A route policy that includes the fc command in one or more entries can be used in any import 
or export policy but the fc command has no effect except in the following types of policies:
• VRF import policies:
→ config>service>vprn>vrf-import
• BGP import policies:
→ config>router>bgp>import
→ config>router>bgp>group>import
→ config>router>bgp>group>neighbor>import
→ config>service>vprn>bgp>import
→ config>service>vprn>bgp>group>import
→ config>service>vprn>bgp>group>neighbor>import
• RIP import policies:
→ config>router>rip>import
