Configuring an Exinda Appliance for PBR on Two Subnets Using Exinda Web UI

Author: Stephen White Updated

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 using 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 Exinda web UI.

 

Process

  1. On the out-of-path Exinda appliance # 1, launch the Exinda web UI.
    1. In the browser address field, type https://<Exinda_IP_address>.
    2. Enter the username and password for the appliance.
    3. Click Login.
  • The Exinda web UI displays.
  • Ensure you are in Advanced mode.
  • Go to Configuration > System > Network > IP Address.
  • In the Interface Settings area, clear the BR10 checkbox.
    • The bridge expands to display eth10 and eth11.
      NOTE: If you are running an Exinda virtual appliance, uncheck the BR2 option. The bridge expands to display eth2 and eth3.
  • Go to Configuration > System > Network > IP Address.
  • In the eth11 area, select PBR.
  • In the Static Addresses field, type the IP address and the netmask of the out-of-path Exinda appliance.
  • In the PBR Next-Hop Address field, type the IP address of the router.
  • Click on Apply Changes.
  • To save the changes to the configuration file, click Save in the status bar.
  • Go to Configuration > System > Tools > Console to launch the command-line console.
  • 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.
