Trunk Formation - Dell PowerConnect B-FCXs Configuration Manual

Policy-based routing (PBR)
The following command enables PBR by globally applying the route map to all interfaces.
PowerConnect(config)#ip policy route-map file-13
Alternatively, you can enable PBR on specific interfaces, as shown in the following example. The
commands in this example configure IP addresses in the source subnet identified in ACL 56, then
apply route map file-13 to the interface.
PowerConnect(config)#interface ethernet 3/11
PowerConnect(config-if-e10000-3/11)#ip address 192.168.1.204/32
PowerConnect(config-if-e10000-3/11)#ip policy route-map file-13

Trunk formation

When a trunk is formed, the PBR policy on the primary port applies to all the secondary ports. If a
different PBR policy exists on a secondary port at the time of a trunk formation, that policy is
overridden by the PBR policy on the primary port. If the primary port does not have a PBR policy,
then the secondary ports will not have a PBR policy.
When a trunk is removed, the PBR policy that was applied to the trunk interface is unbound
(removed) from former secondary ports. If global PBR is configured, the secondary ports adhere to
the global PBR; otherwise, no PBR policy is bound to former secondary ports.
