Route Map Commands
When you create an access-list without any rule and then applied to an interface, the ACL behavior reflects implicit 
permit.
The following commands allow you to configure route maps and their redistribution criteria.

Usage 
Information
The continue feature allows movement from one route-map entry to a specific route-map 
entry (the sequence number). If you do not specify the sequence number, 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, the 
continue feature 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 executes 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 occur, the route map does not continue and 
falls through to the next sequence number, if one exists.
