Chapter 38 Configuring IP Unicast Routing
For more information about configuring route maps, see the
Information" section on page
You can use standard IP ACLs to specify match criteria for a source address or extended IP ACLs to
specify match criteria based on an application, a protocol type, or an end station. The process proceeds
through the route map until a match is found. If no match is found, normal destination-based routing
occurs. There is an implicit deny at the end of the list of match statements.
If match clauses are satisfied, you can use a set clause to specify the IP addresses that identify the next
hop router in the path.
For details about PBR commands and keywords, see the Cisco IOS IP Command Reference, Volume 2 of
3: Routing Protocols, Release 12.2. For a list of PBR commands that are visible but not supported by the
switch, see
PBR configuration is applied to the whole stack, and all switches use the stack-master configuration.
This software release does not support Policy-Based Routing (PBR) when processing IPv4 and IPv6
Note
traffic.

PBR Configuration Guidelines

Appendix C, "Unsupported Commands in Cisco IOS Release 12.2(52)SE."
To use PBR, you must have the IP services feature set enabled on the switch or the stack master.
Multicast traffic is not policy routed. PBR applies to only to unicast traffic.
You can enable PBR on a routed port or on an SVI.
The switch does not support route-map deny statements for PBR.
You can apply a policy route map to an EtherChannel port channel in Layer 3 mode, but you cannot
apply a policy route map to a physical interface that is a member of the EtherChannel. If you try to
do so, the command is rejected. When a policy route map is applied to a physical interface, that
interface cannot become a member of an EtherChannel.
You can define a maximum of 246 IP policy route maps on the switch or the switch stack.
You can define a maximum of 512 access control entries (ACEs) for PBR on the switch or the switch
stack.
When configuring match criteria in a route map, follow these guidelines:
Do not match ACLs that permit packets destined for a local address. PBR would forward these
–
packets, which could cause ping or Telnet failure or route protocol flappping.
Do not match ACLs with deny ACEs. Packets that match a deny ACE are sent to the CPU, which
–
could cause high CPU utilization.
To use PBR, you must first enable the routing template by using the sdm prefer routing global
configuration command. PBR is not supported with the VLAN and default templates. For more
information on the SDM templates, see
VRF and PBR are mutually exclusive on a switch interface. You cannot enable VRF when PBR is
enabled on an interface. The reverse is also true; you cannot enable PBR when VRF is enabled on
an interface.
Web Cache Communication Protocol (WCCP) and PBR are mutually exclusive on a switch
interface. You cannot enable WCCP when PBR is enabled on an interface. The reverse is also true;
you cannot enable PBR when WCCP is enabled on an interface.
