MPLS VPN VRF Export Map

Hello Zaman

The additive keyword will allow you to add an export map without overwriting the previously configured ones. For example, if you configure the following:

PE1(config)#route-map EXPORT_MAP permit 10         
PE1(config-route-map)#set extcommunity rt 1:1 

and then at a later time you configure this:

PE1(config)#route-map EXPORT_MAP permit 10         
PE1(config-route-map)#set extcommunity rt 3:3 

The result is that the 1:1 entry will be overwritten by the 3:3 entry. However, if you use the additive keyword like this instead:

PE1(config)#route-map EXPORT_MAP permit 10         
PE1(config-route-map)#set extcommunity rt 3:3 additive

Then 3:3 will not overwrite 1:1 but will be added to it.

I hope this has been helpful!
