Chapter 15: IP Policy-Based Forwarding Configuration Guide

Traffic from the premium customer is load balanced across two next-hop gateways in the
high-cost, high-availability network. If neither of these gateways is available, then packets
are forwarded based on dynamic routes learned via routing protocols.

Traffic from the standard customer always uses one gateway (200.1.1.1). If for some reason
that gateway is not available, packets from the standard customer are dropped.

The following is the IP policy configuration for the Policy Router in

Figure 21

:

Authenticating Users through a Firewall

You can define an IP policy that authenticates packets from certain users via a firewall
before accessing the network. If for some reason the firewall is not responding, the packets
to be authenticated are dropped.

Figure 22

illustrates this kind of configuration.
