match tag


Adds a matching clause to the route map based on the route tag.

Syntax: match tag tag-value ... tag-value

no match tag [tag-value...]

tag-value

List of one or more tag values. Valid values for tag value are integers from 0 to 4294967295.

Description: Use the match tag command to create an entry in a route map to test routes based on whether the route's tag matches the specified tag-value.

Use the no match tag command to delete the tag entry.

Route maps consist of sets of match and set commands. Match commands define the match criteria for route maps. Routes that match all defined match criteria are processed according to the actions defined by the set commands. Routes that do not match all of the defined match criteria in the route map are ignored.

Use the route-map command to create a route map. Use the various match and set commands to define the conditions for redistributing routes between protocols.

Route tags are used to communicate information between autonomous system boundary routers. OSPF supports tags. Other protocols have a tag of zero. You can select the source of exported routes based on tags. This is useful when routes classified by tag are exported into a given routing protocol.

Factory Default: No tags are defined.

Command Mode: Route-map configuration.

Example: In the following example, OSPF routes with tags of 1 and 2 are redistributed into BGP with metric 1, and OSPF routes with a tag of 3 are redistributed into BGP with a metric of 5:

router(config)#route-map dist-ospf permit 10

router(config-route-map)#match tag 1 2

router(config-route-map)#set metric 1

router(config-route-map)#end

router(config)#route-map dist-ospf permit 20

router(config-route-map)#match tag 3

router(config-route-map)#set metric 5

router(config-route-map)#end

router(config)#router bgp 45

router(config)#redistribute ospf 109 route-map dist-ospf
