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.
