Policy-based Routing (PBR)
Policy-based routing (PBR) allows a switch to make routing decisions based on policies applied to an interface.
Overview
When a router receives a packet, the router decides where to forward the packet based on the destination address in the packet, which is
used to look up an entry in a routing table. However, in some cases, there may be a need to forward the packet based on other criteria:
size, source, protocol type, destination, and so on. For example, a network administrator might want to forward a packet that uses
transmission control protocol (TCP) across a different next-hop than packets using Internet control message protocol (ICMP). In these
situations, you can a configure switch route packet according to a policy applied to interfaces.
In another scenario, when the packet comes from one source and wants to go to another destination, then route it to this next-hop or onto
that specific interface. This permits routing over different links or towards different networks even while the destination is the same but
depending on where the packet originates.
To enable PBR, create a redirect list. Redirect lists are defined by rules or routing policies. You can define following parameters in routing
policies or rules:
•
IP address of the forwarding router (next-hop IP address)
•
Protocol as defined in the header
•
Source IP address and mask
•
Destination IP address and mask
•
Source port
