Table Of Contents
To enable a PBR, you create a redirect list. Redirect lists are defined by rules, or routing policies. The following parameters can
be defined in the routing policies or rules:
IP address of the forwarding router (next-hop IP address)
Protocol as defined in the header
Source IP address and mask
Destination IP address and mask
Source port
Destination port
TCP Flags
Once a redirect-list is applied to an interface, all traffic passing through it is subjected to the rules defined in the redirect-list.
The traffic is forwarded based on the following:
Next-hop addresses are verified. If the specified next hop is reachable, then the traffic is forwarded to the specified
next-hop.
If the specified next-hops are not reachable, then the normal routing table is used to forward the traffic.
Dell Networking OS supports multiple next-hop entries in the redirect lists.
Redirect-Lists are applied at Ingress.
PBR with Redirect-to-Tunnel Option:
The user can provide a tunnel id for a redirect rule. In this case, the resolved next hop would be the tunnel interface IP. The
qualifiers of the rule would be pertaining to the inner IP details. For next hop to be a tunnel interface user needs to provide
tunnel id mandatory. Instead if user provides the tunnel destination IP as next hop, that would be treated as IPv4 next hop and
not tunnel next hop.
PBR with Multiple Tacking Option:
Policy based routing with multiple tracking option extends and introduces the capabilities of object tracking to verify the next
hop IP address before forwarding the traffic to the next hop. The verification method is made transparent to the user. The
multiple tracking options feature is most suitable for routers which have multiple devices as the next hop (primarily indirect
next-hops and/or Tunnel Interfaces in this case). It allows you to backup Indirect Next-hop with another, choose the specific
Indirect Next-hop and/or Tunnel Interface which is available by sending ICMP pings to verify reach ability and/or check the
Tunnel Interface UP or DOWN status, and then route traffic out to that next-hop and/or Tunnel Interface
