Route Map Guidelines and Limitations

Lists the configuration methods, naming limits, protocol support, management-tool restrictions, and per-peer alternatives for route maps associated with an L3Out.


Route-map configuration for an L3Out has restrictions on prefix configuration methods, generated-name length, protocol support, and management tools.

Route Map Configuration Constraints

Follow these guidelines when you configure route maps:

  • Use only one of the following methods to configure prefixes for a route map:

    • Configure routes under a bridge domain and associate the bridge domain with the L3Out.

    • Configure match prefixes under a match profile (rtctrlSubjP).

    Using both methods creates duplicate entries and an undefined route map.

  • The generated name of a route map under an L3Out must contain fewer than 93 characters. The following values contribute to the length:

    Route Profile name + Route Profile context name + Route Profile match rule name < 93 characters
  • The implicit deny-static entry is not supported in an export route map. Explicitly configure the permit and deny entries that control static-route export.

  • Per-peer route maps are supported for BGP. OSPF and EIGRP support route maps only at the L3Out level.

  • Do not use a combination of the GUI and API to create one route map. A route map created through the GUI at the L3Out level cannot be applied to an individual peer.

If a protocol does not support a per-peer route map, use one of the following alternatives:

  • Block the prefix from being advertised by the remote neighbor.

  • Block the prefix in the route map on the existing L3Out, move the neighbor to another L3Out on which the prefix is required, and configure a separate route map.
