edit xpl global-value

Usage Scenario

A global variable set is a group of frequently used values that are defined as global variables. Global variables can be referenced by all route-filters configured on a device. To enable a route-filter or a set to reference a global variable, enter $+variable name, for example, $glovar1. The global variables on a device must be unique. A new global variable will override an existing global variable with the same name. To enter the global variable set paragraph editing interface view, run the edit xpl global-value command.

To configure a global variable set in the global variable set paragraph editing interface view, perform the following steps:

1. Configure a start clause (xpl global-value) for a global variable set.
2. Configure set elements in the format of variable name+'value' in the global variable set view.
   • The variable value range is The value is a string of 1 to 200 case-sensitive characters, spaces not supported. The string can contain letters, digits, underscores (_), hyphens (-), and dots (.). It must start with a letter or digit.The variable name must not be abort, display, end-global-value, or any abbreviation of the keywords, for example, a, ab, abo, di, e, or end.
   • Separate every two neighboring elements with a comma (,), for example, aaa '12', bbb '34', aaa '1.2.3.4'.
3. Configure an end clause (end-global-value) for the global variable set.

Precautions

The data type of each value in a global variable set may vary with the route-filter that references the set. For example, glovar '12' is configured as an element for a global variable set and the set is referenced by a route-filter to modify the MED values of BGP routes, the value of glovar is an integer.
