Policy Based Routing (PBR) is an alternative to routing protocols and allows you to configure a policy for
unicast traffic flows, which provides more control over routing than a routing protocols does and avoids
the need to configure interface-level traffic classification.
PBR applies a route policy to all ingress unicast traffic received on a PBR-enabled interface. PBR cannot
be applied to egress traffic or to multicast traffic.
If the ingress unicast traffic does not match any route policy statements, the route policy applies all the
configured set clauses. Routing protocols forward traffic that does not match any route-policy permit
statement.
Use this command to configure where to route the IPv4 unicast packets.
