Chapter 41 Policy Routing
GS3700/XGS3700 Series User’s Guide
401
The following table describes the labels in this screen.
41.2.1 Policy Routing Rule Configuration
You must first configure a layer-3 classifier in the Classifier screen (see
Section 19.2 on page 201)
and a policy routing profile in the Policy Routing screen (see Section 41.2 on page 400).
Use this screen to configure a policy route to override the default (shortest path) routing behavior
and forward packets based on the classifier and action you specify. A policy route rule defines the
matching classifier and the action to take when a packet meets the criteria in the classifier. The
action is taken only when all the criteria are met. Policy-based routing is applied to incoming
packets on a per interface basis before normal routing. The Switch does not perform normal routing
on packets that match any of the policy routes.
Click Rule Configuration in the I P Application > Policy Routing screen to display the screen as
shown.
