Implementing a Policy Based Route-Map

To implement a policy based route-map:

  • Create a policy based route-map and one or more entries for this route map
  • For each sequence in the route-map, optionally configure match clauses to filter the packet based upon the specification of up to five ACLs per match clause on the S- and K-Series and a single ACL per match clause on the 7100-Series
  • For each sequence in the route-map, optionally configure a set clause specifying up to 5 next hops or default next hops per command line (system maximum of 128); on the S- and K-Series, default next hops can be specified
  • Optionally configure the route-map probe feature to monitor each specified next hop in the route-map
    • On the S- and K-Series, if the next hop of a policy IP address match belongs to a different VRF, set the next hop VRF to perform the route lookup
  • Assign the configured route-map to the interface for which policy-based routing is to be performed (a route-map can be assigned to multiple interfaces)
  • Optionally on the S- and K-Series, change the policy priority settings for this interface
  • Optionally on the S- and K-Series, change the load-policy settings for this interface
