Creating a route map

You can create a route map in a CPE template or on a CPE device. A route map created in the CPE template is automatically created on all CPE devices that use this CPE template.

To create a route map:

  1. Create a route map in one of the following ways:
    • If you want to create a route map in a CPE template, go to the SD-WAN → CPE templates menu section, click the CPE template, and select the Routing filters → Route maps tab.
    • If you want to create a route map on a CPE device, go to the SD-WAN → CPE menu section, click the CPE device, select the Routing filters → Route maps tab, and select the Override check box.

    A table of route maps is displayed.

  2. Click + Route map.
  3. This opens a window; in that window, in the Name field, enter the name of the route map. The maximum length of the name is 50 characters. Do not use spaces in this field.
  4. Create a rule in the route map:
    1. Click + Rule.
    2. In the Sequence field, enter the sequential number of the rule. The rule with the lowest sequence number is the first to be applied to the IPv4 prefix by the route map. Range of values: 1 to 4,294,967,295.
    3. In the Action drop-down list, select the action that the rule performs on the IPv4 prefix:
      • Permit allows the IPv4 prefix. Default value.
      • Deny blocks the IPv4 prefix.
    4. In the Match type drop-down list, select the criterion that makes the route map apply the rule to the IPv4 prefix:
      • None applies the rule to all IPv4 prefixes. Default value.
      • Prefix-List applies the rule to IPv4 prefixes allowed by the specified prefix list. If you select this value, in the Prefix list drop-down list, select a created prefix list.
    5. If in the Match type drop-down list, you selected Prefix-List, in the Change attribute drop-down list, select the attribute that the rule modifies:
      • None if you do not want to modify attribute values. Default value.
      • IP next-hop if you want to change the value of the 'next hop' attribute to the specified IPv4 address. If you select this value, enter an IPv4 address in the New value field.
      • Local Preference if you want to change the value of the 'local preference' attribute to the specified value. If you select this value, in the New value field, enter a value for the 'local preference' attribute. Range of values: 0 to 4,294,967,295.
      • Metric if you want to change the value of the MED attribute to the specified value. If you select this value, in the New value field, enter a value for the MED attribute. Range of values: 0 to 4,294,967,295.
      • AS Path Prepend — Add the number of the autonomous system to the 'as path' attribute. If you select this value, enter the autonomous system number in the New value field. You may enter multiple numbers separated by spaces. Range of values: 0 to 4,294,967,295.

    The rule is created. You can create multiple rules or delete a rule. To delete a rule, click the delete icon cross_icon_3 next to it.

  5. Click Create.

    The route map is created and displayed in the table.

  6. In the upper part of the settings area, click Save to save the settings of the CPE template or CPE device.
