Re: Large prefix lists/sets on IOS-XR

Pushing thousands of lines via CLI/expect automation is def not a great
idea, no. Putting everything into a file, copying that to the device, and
loading from there is generally best regardless. The slowness you refer to
is almost certainly just because of how XR handles config application. If
I'm following correctly, that seems to be the crux of your question.

Hi,

What is the best/most efficient/most convenient way to push large prefix
lists or sets to an XR router for BGP prefix filtering? Pushing thousands
of lines through the CLI seems foolish, I tried using the load command but
it seems horribly slow. What am I missing? :)

Cheers!
