How is pbr ( policy-based routing ) used in routing?


Asked by Ramona Branch on Dec 11, 2021 FAQ



By using PBR, customers can implement policies that selectively cause packets to take different paths. Traditional IP routing forwards packets based only on the destination IP address in the packet. PBR can be configured to forward packets based on other criteria, such as source address, application and the length of the packet.
Also,
Policy Based Routing (PBR) Policy based routing is use to path manipulation. It is used for implementing policy that causes the packet to take a different direction. Policy based routing allows source based routing.
Likewise, With PBR, the network device can make routing decisions based on various other criteria such as source IP address, source port, protocol, destination port etc and also combination of these.
Just so,
The short answer is that PBR allows routing to be performed based on criteria other than destination IP address. The traditional form of routing (which is used by default on any routing device) is based on the destination IP address of the packet.
Moreover,
Policy-Based Routing (PBR) in EdgeOS works by matching source IP address ranges using firewall rules and forwarding the traffic using different routing tables. The routing tables that will be used in this example are: table 11 The routing table used by hosts in VLAN10. table 12 The routing table used by hosts in VLAN20.
