PBR Configuration Example

 
Note: The I.P addresses configured between the routers are in the format of 192.168.x.x/24 for routers.

In the setup, 3 PCs are connected to the routers. The three routers R1, R2 and R3 have been configured with a dynamic routing protocol OSPF with area 0.

The following setup enables PC1 to communicate with PC2 but at the same time cannot communicate with PC3 due to the configured policies at the interfaces of router R1.

Router R1 has been configured with policy to block the ICMP request for destination 30.30.30.1 so PC1 cannot communicate with PC3. This policy has been applied at Interface eth0 of Router R1.

Multiple services such as SSH, Router access and other services can also be blocked using Policy Based Routing.

 
The above mentioned features are offered and supported by VCL-MX-50xx family of IP/MPLS Routers.
