xpl global-value

Usage Scenario

A global variable set is a group of frequently used values that are defined as global variables. Global variables are variables that 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 create a global variable set and enter the global variable set view, run the xpl global-value command.

Follow-up Procedure

1. 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'.
2. Run the end-global-value command in the global variable set view to conclude the configuration of 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. If glovar '12' is referenced to set the MED for BGP routes, the value of glovar is an integer.

New configurations of a global variable set will replace current configurations of the global variable set. To exit from the global variable set view, run the abort command in the global variable set view.
