Field Description
Id
Displays the unique number that identifies the route policy.
Seqnum
Displays a second number that identifies a specific policy within the route policy group (grouped by Id). This field allows you to specify different match and set parameters and an action. You can also use this field to resolve a tie between 2 matching policies. The policy with the lower sequence number is used.
Name
Allows you to modify the unique name that represents the policy group. There is a one-to-one relationship between Id and Name.
Enable
Allows you to modify whether the policy is enabled (true) or not (false). If disabled, the policy should not be used.
The default value is false (disabled).

The default value is permit.

Allows you to modify the route source of the packet. Use this field only for announce policies. (This field ignores accept policies.)

The default value is none, that is, the RouteSource field is not checked.
MatchNetList
Allows you to modify the number(s) of the networks to which this policy should be applied. The network list name is used to refer the range of networks. If not set or if the network list table entry is empty, then this policy is applied to all networks. You can set a maximum of 4 service lists for a policy.
