    Usage
    -----
    # route_maps: key, value pair for route-map name and its attribute
    # rmap_match_prefix_list_1: user given name for route-map
    # action: PERMIT/DENY
    # match: key,value pair for match criteria. prefix_list, community-list,
             large-community-list or tag. Only one option at a time.
    # prefix_list: name of prefix list
    # large-community-list: name of large community list
    # community-ist: name of community list
    # tag: tag id for static routes
    # set: key, value pair for modifying route attributes
    # localpref: preference value for the network
    # med: metric value advertised for AS
    # aspath: set AS path value
    # weight: weight for the route
    # community: standard community value to be attached
    # large_community: large community value to be attached
    # community_additive: if set to "additive", adds community/large-community
                          value to the existing values of the network prefix
