Route-map Operation Without Continue Clauses
A route map evaluates match clauses until a successful match occurs. After the match occurs, the route
map stops evaluating match clauses and starts executing set clauses, in the order in which they were
configured. If a successful match does not occur, the route map “falls through” and evaluates the next
sequence number of the route map until all configured route-map entries have been evaluated or a
successful match occurs. Each route-map sequence is tagged with a sequence number to identify the
entry. Route-map entries are evaluated in order starting with the lowest sequence number and ending
with the highest sequence number. If the route map contains only set clauses, the set clauses will be
executed automatically, and the route map will not evaluate any other route-map entries.

sequence number. This behavior is referred to as an “implied continue.”
