For example, when you configure parameters for redistributing routes into BGP, one of the optional 
parameters is a route map.  If you specify a route map as one of the redistribution parameters, the 
router will match the route against the match statements in the route map.  If a match is found and 
if the route map contains set statements, the router will set attributes in the route according to the 
set statements.
To create a route map, you define instances of the map.  Each instance is identified by a sequence 
number.  
To define a route map, use the procedures in the following sections.
Entering the route map Into the software
To add instance 1 of a route map named “GET_ONE” with a permit action, enter the following 
command.   
BigIron RX(config)# route-map GET_ONE permit 1
BigIron RX(config-routemap GET_ONE)#
Syntax: [no] route-map <map-name> permit | deny <num>
As shown in this example, the command prompt changes to the Route Map level.   You can enter 
the match and set statements at this level. Refer to “Specifying the match conditions” on page 803 
and “Setting parameters in the routes” on page 806.
The <map-name> is a string of characters that names the map.  Map names can be up to 32 
characters in length.
The permit | deny parameter specifies the action the router will take if a route matches a match 
statement.
• If you specify deny, the device does not advertise or learn the route. 
• If you specify permit, the device applies the match and set statements associated with this 
route map instance. 
The <num> parameter specifies the instance of the route map you are defining.   
To delete a route map, enter a command such as the following.  When you delete a route map, all 
the permit and deny entries in the route map are deleted.
BigIron RX(config)# no route-map Map1
This command deletes a route map named “Map1”.  All entries in the route map are deleted.
To delete a specific instance of a route map without deleting the rest of the route map, enter a 
command such as the following.
BigIron RX(config)# no route-map Map1 permit 10
This command deletes the specified instance from the route map but leaves the other instances of 
the route map intact.
