Policy Based Routing

Controller Statistics

The Policy Based Routing statistics screen displays statistics for selective path packet redirection.
PBR can optionally mark traffic for preferential services (QoS). PBR is applied to incoming routed
packets, and a route-map is created containing a set of filters and associated actions. Based on
the actions defined in the route-map, packets are forwarded to the next relevant hop. Route-maps
are configurable under a global policy called routing-policy, and applied to profiles and devices.

To review controller or service platform PBR statistics:

1. Select the Statistics menu from the Web UI.

2. Select a Wireless Controller node from the left navigation pane.

3. Select Policy Based Routing.
