Policy Routing Overview

Policy routing is to make forwarding decisions based on user-defined policies. Different from the normal

destination-based routing, policy routing can make routing decisions based on the source address and

other criteria in addition to the destination IP address.

The Switch 4800G series implement policy routing through QoS policies. You can configure traffic

classification and traffic redirecting action so that packets matching specific criteria will be forwarded

along the specified path, thus to implement flexible routing.

Policy routing takes precedence over destination-based routing. That is, if a packet meets the match

criteria, policy routing applies; otherwise, destination-based routing applies.

For details about QoS policies, refer to QoS configuration in the QoS Volume.

Configuring Traffic Redirecting

Before configuring policy routing, you need to:

Configure a QoS policy, that is, to configure the match criteria and a redirecting action for policy

Apply the QoS policy, that is, to define the occasion to which the policy routing applies.

Follow these steps to configure traffic redirecting:

Enter system view

Create a class and enter

Configure the match criteria

Exit class view

Use the command...

traffic classifier tcl-name [ operator

{ and | or } ]

if-match match-criteria
