Chapter 34 Policy Routing

34.2.1 Policy Routing Rule Configuration

You must first configure a layer-3 classifier in the Classifier screen (see Section

20.2on page 204) and a policy routing profile in the Policy Routing screen (see Section 34.2 on page 322).

Use this screen to configure a policy route to override the default (shortest path) routing behavior and forward packets based on the classifier and action you specify. A policy route rule defines the matching classifier and the action to take when a packet meets the criteria in the classifier. The action is taken only when all the criteria are met. Policy-based routing is applied to incoming packets on a per interface basis before normal routing. The Switch does not perform normal routing on packets that match any of the policy routes.

Click Rule Configuration in the IP Application > Policy Routing screen to display the screen as shown.
