Configuring policy routing
Step
1 node(cfg)#context ip router
2 node(ctx-ip)[router]#[no] route destination netmask inter-
face|gateway [metric ] [traffic-class <traffic-class> ]
Where the syntax is:
• destination—The IP address of the target network or subnet.
• Netmask—A network mask where the 1 bits indicate the network or subnet, and the 0 bits indicate the
host portion of the network address provided.
• Interface|gateway—the name of the outgoing interface to use for the target network or subnet, or the IP
address of the outgoing interface
• Metric—(optional) Specifies the desirability of the route when compared against other routes. The range is
0 through 15, where 0 is the preferred route. If no metric is specified, the static route is assumed to have a
metric of 0.
• Traffic class—indicates that this static route is for IP traffic in the following <traffic-class>." If no traffic-
class is specified, the routing table entry is of no traffic-class and is thus valid for packets of all traffic-classes.
Within IP context, IP packets are categorized into traffic-classes which are used as routing criteria. The follow-
ing traffic-classes are defined:
ß Default:all IP packets that are arriving from the WAN or the LAN and need to be routed through.
ß Local-voice:IP packets that are created within the unit and contain voice data (RTP).
ß Local-default:IP packets that are created within the unit and do not contain voice, e.g., SIP signaling, DNS
lookup, Telnet, etc.
In addition packets can be categorized into user-defined traffic-classes by using ACL.
A routing table entry may or may not have a traffic-class assigned. In the case that a routing table has no traf-
fic-class assigned, it is valid for packets of all traffic-classes. On the other hand, if it does have a traffic-class
assigned, the route is valid is restricted for packets of that given traffic-class.
Consider the following simple routing table example:
