PBR is not working with a non-adjacent next hop router

[TCC_2]

Core Issue

The next hop router in the path toward the destination where the packets should be forwarded must be adjacent.

Resolution

Policy routing requires the next-hop ip address specified in the set clauses to be adjacent (directly connected) to the policy router. If the next-hop ip address is not on a directly connected subnet (sharing a subnetwork with the policy router), policy routing fails.

For more information, refer to White Paper Policy-Based Routing: The Need to Define Routing Policy.

Setting the next hop IP address

Hi

This is a requirement for the PBR that the next hop should be a directly connected ip. However, we can have a alternate to this. Known as PBR recursive ;lookup we can make an ip next hop which is not directly connected.
