which means it is evaluated before the ip policy deny statement, which has a sequence number of 900.

Setting Load Distribution for Next-hop Gateways

You can specify up to four next-hop gateways in an ip-policystatement. If you specify more than one next-hop gateway, you can control how the load is distributed among them. You can cause each new flow to use the first available next-hop gateway in the ip- policy permit statement, or you can cause flows to use all the next-hop gateways in the ip-policy permit statement sequentially.

To set the load distribution for next-hop gateways, enter one of the following commands in Configure mode:

Use the first available next-hop

ip-policy <name> set load-policy

gateway in the ip-policy permit

first-available

statement for all flows. This is the

 

default.

 

 

 

Sequentially pick the next gateway in

ip-policy <name> set load-policy

the list for each new flow.

round-robin

 

 

Determine the next hop gateway.

ip-policy <name> set load-policy ip-

 

hash sipdipboth

 

 

Setting the IP Policy Action

You can specify when to apply the IP policy route with respect to dynamic or statically configured routes. The SSR can cause packets to use the IP policy route first, then the dynamic route if the next-hop gateway specified in the IP policy is unavailable; use the dynamic route first, then the IP policy route; or drop the packets if the next-hop gateway specified in the IP policy is unavailable.
