+Routing-policy
+--------------
+
+Routing Policies could be used to tell the router (self or neighbors) what routes and their attributes needs to be put into the routing table.
+
+There could be a wide range of routing policies. Some examples are below:
+
+ * Set some metric to routes learned from a particular neighbor
+ * Set some attributes (like AS PATH or Community value) to advertised routes to neighbors
+ * Prefer a specific routing protocol routes over another routing protocol running on the same router
+
+Routing Policy Example
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+**Policy definition:**
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+ #Create policy
+ set policy route-map setmet rule 2 action 'permit'
+ set policy route-map setmet rule 2 set as-path-prepend '2 2 2'
+
+ #Apply policy to BGP
+ set protocols bgp 1 neighbor 1.1.1.2 route-map import 'setmet'
+ set protocols bgp 1 neighbor 1.1.1.2 soft-reconfiguration 'inbound' <<<< ***
+
+ *** get policy update without bouncing the neighbor
+
+**Routes learned before routing policy applied:**
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+ vyos@vos1:~$ show ip bgp
+ BGP table version is 0, local router ID is 192.168.56.101
+ Status codes: s suppressed, d damped, h history, * valid, > best, i - internal,
+ r RIB-failure, S Stale, R Removed
+ Origin codes: i - IGP, e - EGP, ? - incomplete
+
+ Network Next Hop Metric LocPrf Weight Path
+ *> 22.22.22.22/32 1.1.1.2 1 0 2 i < Path
+
+ Total number of prefixes 1

+**Routes learned after routing policy applied:**
