test policy

Syntax

Description

Test a policy configuration to determine which prefixes match routes in the routing table.

Options

Additional Information

All prefixes in the default unicast routing table (inet.0) that match prefixes that are the same as or longer than the specific prefix are processed by the from clause in the specified policy. All prefixes accepted by the policy are displayed. The test policy command evaluates a policy differently from the BGP import process. When testing a policy that contains an interface match condition in the from clause, the test policy command uses the match condition. In contrast, BGP does not use the interface match condition when evaluating the policy against routes learned from internal BGP (IBGP) or external BGP (EGBP) multihop peers.

When testing a policy, you can see the length of time (in microseconds) required to evaluate the policy and the number of times it has been executed by running the show policy policy-name statistics command.
