# Route Map List

All packets received on an interface are passed through packet filters known as route maps Route maps determine when packets are forwarded. Route maps are composed of statements. The route map statements can be marked as permit or deny, and they are interpreted in the following way:
-- if the packet matches the conditions in the route map, then the action (permit or deny) associated with the route map entry is applied to the packet.
-- if the packet does not match the conditions in the route map, then the action (permit or deny) associated with the route map entry is not applied. .

Route maps are used in import and export rules, and in route redistribution. Before you can configure any of these features, you must configure a route map first.

## Viewing Route Maps

To view route maps for all configured virtual routers, select All virtual routers in the Route Map for drop-down list. To view route maps for a specific virtual router, select that virtual router from the drop-down list. In addition, to select how many route entries per page you want to view, select 5, 10, 20, 50 or 100 in the List per page drop-down list.

The route map table provides the following information:

Map Name: The string that identifies the route map. Click Add Seq No to add a statement to a route map. Click Remove to delete a route map.

Seq No: Indicates the order of the statement in the route map. It determines the order in which the route map statements are evaluated.

Action: Indicates whether the virtual router forwards (permit) or blocks (deny) an incoming or outgoing packet that meets the criteria defined by the route map.

Configure: Click Edit to modify a route map statement. Click Remove to delete a route map statement.

## Creating Route Maps

You can either create a new route map or add a statement to an existing route map. To create a new route map, select a virtual router from the drop-down list and click New. To add a statement to a route map, click Add Seq No beside the route map to which you are adding an entry. For more information, see Route Map Configuration.
