• You must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes the proper task IDs. The command
reference guides include the task IDs required for each command. If you suspect user group assignment
is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance.
• Border Gateway Protocol (BGP), integrated Intermediate System-to-Intermediate System (IS-IS), or
Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) must be configured in your network.
Restrictions for Implementing Routing Policy
These restrictions apply when working with Routing Policy Language implementation on Cisco IOS XR
software:
• An individual policy definition of up to 1000 statements are supported. The total number of statements
within a policy can be extended to 4000 statements using hierarchical policy constructs. However, this
limit is restricted with the use of
apply
statements.
• When a policy that is attached directly or indirectly to an attach point needs to be modified, a single
commit
operation cannot be performed when:
• Removing a set or policy referred by another policy that is attached to any attach point directly or
indirectly.
• Modifying the policy to remove the reference to the same set or policy that is getting removed.
The
commit
must be performed in two steps:
1.
Modify the policy to remove the reference to the policy or set and then
commit
.
2.
Remove the policy or set and
commit
.
• Per-vrf label mode is not supported for Carrier Supporting Carrier (CSC) network with internal and
external BGP multipath setup.
Information About Implementing Routing Policy
To implement RPL, you need to understand the following concepts:
Routing Policy Language
This section contains the following information:
Routing Policy Language Overview
RPL was developed to support large-scale routing configurations. RPL has several fundamental capabilities
that differ from those present in configurations oriented to traditional route maps, access lists, and prefix lists.
The first of these capabilities is the ability to build policies in a modular form. Common blocks of policy can
be defined and maintained independently. These common blocks of policy can then be applied from other
blocks of policy to build complete policies. This capability reduces the amount of configuration information
that needs to be maintained. In addition, these common blocks of policy can be parameterized. This
