Parameter Description
Nexthop-list name Name for the new nexthop list.
Nexthop IP / DHCP IP address of the nexthop device or the VLAN ID of the VLAN used by the nexthop

field requires you to select either the IPor DHCP option.
l IP: In the Nexthop Value and Priority fields, enter the IP address and priority

is disabled, the new primary nexthop device remains the primary even when the ori-

PBR Rules
A policy-based routing (PBR) rule is an ACL that can forward traffic as normal, or route traffic over a VPNtunnel
specified by an IPsec map, routed to a nexthop router on a nexthop list, ore redirected over an L3 GRE tunnel
or tunnel group.
If you modify an existing ACL by adding a new rule with the same position as an existing rule, the previously existing
rule will be overwritten. The Smart Config section of the ArubaOS WebUI does not prevent you from creating
duplicate rules in different positions, though this is not allowed when creating ACLs using the
Configuration>Security>Firewall Policies section of the ArubaOS WebUI, or when using the ip access-list
commands in the ArubaOS command-line interface.
To associate a policy based routing rule with the branch config group,
1. Navigate to Configuration>Branch>Smart Config>Routing, and select the PBR subtab.
2. Click the Route ACL name drop-down list. Select an existing route ACL, or click New to define a new ACL.
3. If you selected New in the previous step, enter a name for the new ACL, then click Add. Next, you must
define the rules for the new ACL.
4. Click the Add button below the PBR rules list, and define the following values:
