Overview

To use Policy-Based Routing (PBR), you should configure the interfaces on the Exinda appliance with the appropriate settings, using either the Exinda Web UI or the CLI.

This article provides step-by-step instructions on how to configure an out-of-path Exinda appliance for PBR on two subnets using the CLI.

CAUTION! Configure your appliance using the IP addresses that correspond to your network. The IP addresses and netmasks used in this article are for demonstration purposes only.

Process

On the out-of-path Exinda appliance # 1, launch the Exinda web UI.

In the browser address field, type https://<Exinda_IP_address>
Enter the username and password for the appliance.
Click Login.

The Exinda web UI displays.

Ensure you are in Advanced mode.

Click Configuration > System > Tools> Console.

Type the appliance username and password at the prompts.

To enter the privileged EXEC (enable) mode, at the prompt run the following command:
```
hostname > enable
```

The hostname # prompt appears.

To enter the configuration (config) mode, at the prompt run the following command:
```
hostname # configure terminal
```

The hostname (config)# prompt appears.

Remove the BR10 bridge:

hostname (config)# no bridge BR10 enable

Set the IP address and netmask of the out-of-path Exinda appliance:

hostname (config)# interface eth11 ip address 10.10.10.2 /24

Identify the interface to be used for policy-based routing:

hostname (config)# pbr interface eth11

Set the IP address of the router:

hostname (config)# pbr interface ip next-hop 10.10.20.1

To set the parameters of eth11, type the following commands:

hostname (config)# no interface eth11 dhcp

hostname (config)# interface eth11 display

hostname (config)# interface eth11 duplex auto

hostname (config)# interface eth11 mtu 1500

hostname (config)# no interface eth11 shutdown

hostname (config)# interface eth11 speed auto

Repeat the above steps on the out-of-path Exinda appliance #2.
