The following table describes the labels in this screen.
48.2.1 Policy Routing Rule Configuration
You must first configure a layer-3 classifier in the Classifier screen and a policy routing profile in the Policy
Routing screen.
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 IP Application > Policy Routing screen to display the screen as shown.
