Route-map query

Hi Folks,

router eigrp 19001

passive-interface FastEthernet0/1

network X.X.X.128 0.0.0.3

network X.X.X.X 0.0.0.7

no auto-summary

!

router bgp 19001

redistribute eigrp 19001 route-map serial-active

! configuration truncted

no auto-summary

!

route-map serial-active permit 10

match ip next-hop serial-active

!

ip access-list standard serial-active

permit X.X.X.129

Above Configuration is redistributing only those EIGRP 19001 routes, which has next-hop IP address 66.248.251.129, into BGP.

The same name 'serial-active' is used for both Route-map name & ACL name. please don't confuse with it.

I verified that EIGRP routes are being redistributed into BGP as required. Everything is working fine.

But I am confused with the below output, it showing 0 packet is matched for policy routing.

Router#show route-map serial-active

route-map serial-active, permit, sequence 10

Match clauses:

ip next-hop (access-lists): serial-active

Set clauses:

Policy routing matches: 0 packets, 0 bytes

Though sh ip access-lists command is showing 36269 matches for the ACL.

Router#sh ip access-lists serial-active

Standard IP access list serial-active

permit X.X.X.129 (36269 matches)

Can someone help me to understand this behavior, why route-map is showing 0 match & while ACL has 36269 matches?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Amolak

There is a simple explanation for this: you are using the route map to control redistribution and are not using it for policy based routing. Therefore the count for policy routing does not increment.

HI Rick,

Good Day ! !

Could you please explain in detail. I am confused with your reply.

How route-map and policy based routing work and differs.

You enable Policy Based Routing with the ip policy command on an interface. That is not the case in this question. In this question the route map is used to control redistribution. Control of redistribution is not Policy Based Routing.

It is sort of simimlar to the way that access lists are used. Just because an access list is configured does not mean that the access list is used to filter data packets. You use an access list to filter data packets by using the ip access-group command on an interface. But you can also use an access list to identify interesting traffic for DDR, or you can use an access list to control remote access to vty by the access-class command. Or you can use an access list to filter routing updates by using the distribute-list command. So you must look at how it is being used. In this case the route-map is used in redistribution and redistribution is not Policy Based Routing. Policy Based Routing will change the way that a packet is routed and that is not happening in this question.
