Forward Incoming Traffic

About this task

Perform the following procedure to forward incoming traffic using MAC, IPv4, or IPv6 ACL.

Configure the ingress group with the required ingress ports.
Configure L2 (MAC) or L3 ACL (IPv4 or IPv6) in the access list with Permit option.
Set L2 or L3 ACL in the route-map.
Configure the port channel, egress ports, or egress group based on redirect/forward to single egress port or multiple ports in route-map.
Apply route-map policy to the ingress group.
Send traffic flows to the device under test.
- The traffic flows or packets are forwarded to egress port or egress group based on L2 or L3 ACL configured in the route-map.
- Traffic flows are load-balanced between the mapped egress ports.
Verify the CLI statistics of ingress group and L2 or L3 ACL counters to determine the number of packets or flows received.
Verify the CLI statistics of egress port or egress group to determine the number of packets or flows forwarded.
Verify the CLI statistics of L2 or L3 ACL matches the number of packets or flows forwarded.
Verify that the packets matching the L2 or L3 ACL are getting forwarded in egress port/egress group by validating or capturing the wired PCAP collected in the analytical tools.
Verify the statistics by enabling the logs of forwarding agents.
