Overview

To use 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 Exinda appliance for PBR using the web UI.

Process

On your browser, open the Exinda web UI (https://<Exinda_IP_address>).
Type the username and password.
Click Login.
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 a virtual appliance is hosting the Exinda appliance software, 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.

Click Configuration > System > Tools > Console to launch the command-line console.

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

The hostname # prompt appears.

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

The hostname (config)# prompt appears.

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
