Policy based routing

Hi,

Is it possible to do PBR based on route tags or other attributes related to prefix?

My understanding is that we can do PBR only with attributes related to packet like IP precedence, packet length etc as for doing PBR device will check packet fields and not fields associated with a route.

Regards

PBR can be done by using route tags

route-map tag permit 10

match tag 10

set ip next-hop

But i cannot think of a scenario where you would be required to do this

PBR is applied at the input interface and if you are receiving the tags for some routes on the same interface, then traffic for these destinations would be directed away from that interface.

However you can test this via a simple topology

R1 -- R2 --- R3

R1 send a route 1.1.1.1 with tag 10 to R2 which is also sent to R3

You can have a PBR at the R2 interface connecting to R3 to match the tag and send to some other router

R1

interface Loopback1

ip address 1.1.1.1 255.255.255.255

!

interface FastEthernet0/0

ip address 10.10.10.1 255.255.255.0

ip ospf network point-to-point

router ospf 1

log-adjacency-changes

redistribute connected subnets tag 10

network 10.10.10.0 0.0.0.255 area 0

R2

interface Loopback1

ip address 2.2.2.2 255.255.255.255

!

interface FastEthernet0/0

ip address 10.10.10.2 255.255.255.0

interface FastEthernet0/1

ip address 20.20.20.1 255.255.255.0

ip policy route-map tag

ip ospf network point-to-point

router ospf 1

log-adjacency-changes

redistribute static subnets

network 10.10.10.0 0.0.0.255 area 0

network 20.20.20.0 0.0.0.255 area 0

route-map tag permit 10

match tag 10

set ip next-hop 4.4.4.4

R3

interface Loopback1

ip address 3.3.3.3 255.255.255.255

ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 20.20.20.1
