Source — Port (one or more) to which this PBR policy is bound. For PBR policies bound to multiple ports, displays all ports separated by commas. For globally applied PBR policies, displays blank.

Match — L3 ACL policy associated with the rule. You can define up to 10 ACL policies (5 IPv4 and 5 IPv6) per rule.

Next Hop — Destination for the packets that pass ACL filter. You can define multiple next hops. PBR selects the first next hop from the next hop list that is up. If the first next hop goes down, PBR uses another next hop if available. If no next hops are available, the product routes the traffic in the normal way.

Preserve VLAN — Whether or not VLAN tags are preserved or not.

Sequence — Sequence number of the rule. The Management application auto-generates the number based on the order in which the policies are listed in the Product_Name PBR Configuration dialog box. Sequence numbers must be unique within a policy.

Using the CLI, you can specify a sequence number when you create a rule and the Management application obtains the sequence number when PBR policies are read from the product. For more information, refer to the configuration guide for your product.
