Prerequisites for Policy-Based Routing
Policy-Based Routing has the following prerequisites:
• Install the correct license.
• You must enable the policy-based routing feature (see the “Enabling the Policy-based Routing
Feature” section on page 17-4).
• Assign an IP address on the interface and bring the interface up before you apply a route map on the
interface for policy-based routing.
• If you configure VDCs, install the Advanced Services license and enter the desired VDC (see to the
Cisco NX-OS Virtual Device Context Configuration Guide).
Guidelines and Limitations
Policy-based routing has the following guidelines and limitations:
• A policy-based routing route map can have only one match or set statement per route-map statement.
• A policy-based routing route map cannot have more than one match and one set command in a
route-map entry.
• A match command cannot refer to more than one ACL in a route map used for policy-based routing.
• An ACL used in a policy-based routing route map cannot include a deny statement.
• The same route map can be shared among different interfaces for policy-based routing as long as the
interfaces belong to the same VRF.
