Editing Routing Policy Configuration Elements
RPL is based on statements rather than on lines. That is, within the begin-end pair that brackets policy statements
from the CLI, a new line is merely a separator, the same as a space character.
The CLI provides the means to enter and delete route policy statements. RPL provides a means to edit the
contents of the policy between the begin-end brackets, using a text editor. The following text editors are
available on Cisco IOS XR software for editing RPL policies:
•
Nano (default)
•
Emacs
•
Vim
