[c-nsp] Route-Map Question/Advice

[Richard J. Sears]

Hey Everyone - 


Just a quick question hopefully someone can answer for me or point me in
the right direction.

Is it better to create individual route-maps for bgp sessions, or create
a single route-map with individual match clauses to get the job done..?


I have not been able to find pros/cons in doing it either way. My gut
tells me the first way is better only because is a singe route-map and
doesn't have to go through a very long route-map before it hits a match,
but from an administrative standpoint, assigning the same route-map to
all of my peers would be easier.

Any thoughts either way would be helpful.

And as always - thanks


Example


route-map  FROM_PEER1 permit 10
match ip address prefix-list PEER_1
match as-path 10
set local-preference 150

route-map  FROM_PEER2 permit 10
match ip address prefix-list PEER_2
match as-path 20
set local-preference 150

route-map  FROM_PEER3 permit 10
match ip address prefix-list PEER_3
match as-path 30
set local-preference 150



or


route-map  FROM_PEERS permit 10
match ip address prefix-list PEER_1
match as-path 10
set local-preference 150

route-map  FROM_PEERS permit 20
match ip address prefix-list PEER_2
match as-path 20
set local-preference 150

route-map  FROM_PEERS permit 30
match ip address prefix-list PEER_3
match as-path 30
set local-preference 150
