Introduction

This document provides PBR configuration examples.

PBR uses a user-defined policy to route packets based on fields such as the source address, destination address, IP precedence, and protocol. PBR takes precedence over destination-based routing.

Prerequisites

The configuration examples in this document were created and verified in a lab environment, and all the devices were started with the factory default configuration. When you are working on a live network, make sure you understand the potential impact of every command on your network.

This document assumes that you have basic knowledge of PBR.

Configuration restrictions and guidelines

When you configure the action of forwarding traffic to a next hop, do not specify the following addresses:

·          An IPv6 address in an IPv4 ACL rule.

·          An IPv4 address in an IPv6 ACL rule.

Example: Configuring PBR

Network configuration

As shown in Figure 1, on Device, all packets destined for Server are forwarded to the next hop 10.4.1.2 by default.

Configure PBR to meet the following requirements:

·          Packets with source IPv4 address 10.2.1.1 received on VLAN-interface 2 are forwarded to the next hop 10.5.1.2.

·          HTTP packets with source IPv4 addresses other than 10.2.1.1 received on VLAN-interface 2 are forwarded to the next hop 10.3.1.2.

Figure 1 Network diagram

 

Analysis

To forward the two types of packets to different next hops, you must perform the following tasks:

·          Configure two ACLs to classify the two types of packets.

·          Configure two policy nodes to forward the packets to the specified next hops.

To ensure that packets with source address 10.2.1.1 are forwarded to the next hop 10.5.1.2, assign a node a smaller node ID to match the packets.

Example: Configuring IPv6 PBR

Network configuration

As shown in Figure 2, on Device, all packets destined for Server are forwarded to the next hop 2004::2 by default.

Configure IPv6 PBR to meet the following requirements:

·          Packets with source IPv6 address 2002::1 received on VLAN-interface 2 are forwarded to the next hop 2005::2.

·          HTTP packets with source IPv6 addresses other than 2002::1 received on VLAN-interface 2 are forwarded to the next hop 2003::2.

Figure 2 Network diagram

 

Analysis

To forward the two types of packets to different next hops, you must perform the following tasks:

·          Configure two ACLs to classify the two types of packets.

·          Configure two policy nodes to forward the packets to the specified next hops.

To ensure that packets with source address 2002::1 are forwarded to the next hop 2005::2, assign a node a smaller node ID to match the packets.

Verifying the configuration

# On Device, display IPv6 PBR policy information.

[Device] display ipv6 policy-based-route policy pbr1

Policy name: pbr1

  node 0 permit:

    if-match acl 3005

    apply next-hop 2005::2

  node 1 permit:

    if-match acl 3006

    apply next-hop 2003::2

The output shows that the IPv6 PBR configurations are successful.

# On Device, verify the forwarding of packets with source address 2002::1. (Details not shown.)

·          If 2005::2 is reachable, packets are forwarded to the next hop 2005::2.

·          If 2005::2 is not reachable, packets are forwarded to the next hop 2004::2.

# On Device, verify the forwarding of HTTP packets. (Details not shown.)

·          If 2003::2 is reachable, packets are forwarded to the next hop 2003::2.

·          If 2003::2 is not reachable, packets are forwarded to the next hop 2004::2.
