#### Release Information

Command introduced before JunosE Release 7.1.0.

#### Description

Defines a rule to forward all packets that match the specified classifier control list. If you do not specify a classifier control list using the classifier-group keyword, the router will select all packets from the interface in the direction of the attached policy list. The no version removes the rule from the policy list; the suspend version temporarily suspends the forward rule; the no suspend version resumes application of a suspended rule.

See the forward interface and forward next-hop commands for descriptions of the Classifier Group Configuration mode versions of this command.
