route-map and 'ip policy'command

[Just Kennie]

Please can any one explain in brief when I need to apply the 'ip policy route-map' command at the interface when doing route-map.

Is it when I am using it for redistribution or packet redirection. Or both.

Hi Kennie,

The ip policy route-map command specifies the route-map used for policy based routing and not redistribution.

Hi Kennie,

As pointed by Lejoe "ip policy route-map" is the command used with respect to Policy Based Routing.

PBR has two configuration parts - Creating Policy and applying the policy on the interface.

You create policy using "route-map name" command and apply it on an interface using "ip policy route-map name" command

interface fa 0/0

ip policy route-map xyz

route-map xyz

match ip address 10.10.10.12

set ip next-hop 11.11.11.12

PBR is always matched for inbound traffic on an interface.
