The continue clause provides the capability to execute additional entries in a route map after an entry is executed with a successful match and set clauses (i.e), the continue command allows multiple entries to be evaluated within a single route-map. Continue commands can be assigned optional sequence numbers that indicate the order in which clauses are to be evaluated.

Use the no form of the command (specifying a particular sequence number if desired), to remove individual or all continue clauses from a route-map.

When a match clause exists in a route map with continue clause, then the continue clause is executed only when a successful match occurs. If a match clause does not exist in the route-map and if a continue clause does exist, the continue clause will be evaluated and then go to the specified route-map entry. When a successful match occurs and we have a continue clause, the route-map executes the set clauses and then goes to the specified route-map entry. If continue clause does not exist in the next route map, then the route-map will behave normally. If a continue clause exists in the next route-map but a match is not successful, the route-map will not continue and will fall through to the next sequence number if one exists.

Set clauses are executed after the route-map evaluation is done. The set clauses are evaluated and executed in the order in which they were configured. Set clauses are only executed after a successful match occurs. The continue statement proceeds to the specified route-map entry only after configured set actions are performed. If a set action is configured in the first route-map and then the same set action occurs again, but with a different value in a subsequent route-map entry, then the last set action will override the previous set actions, which were configured with the same set command.
