ROUTING-POLICY

This chapter summarizes routing-policy commands in the CLI command structure.

Routing policies enable network administrators to control data packet routing and forwarding.
Policy-based routing
(PBR) always overrides protocol-based routing. Network administrators can
define routing policies based on parameters, such as access lists, packet size etc. For example, a
routing policy can be configured to route packets along user-defined routes.

In addition to the above, PBR policies facilitate the provisioning of preferential service to specific
traffic. PBR minimally provides the following:

A means to use source address, protocol, application, and traffic class as traffic routing criteria

A means to load balance multiple WAN uplinks

A means to selectively mark traffic for Quality of Service (QoS) optimization

Use the (config) instance to configure router-policy commands. To navigate to the
(config-routing-policy mode) instance, use the following commands:

(config)#routing-policy

rfs7000-37FABE(config)#routing-policy testpolicy

rfs7000-37FABE(config)#

rfs7000-37FABE(config-routing-policy-testpolicy)#?
