Overview

To use PBR, you should configure the interfaces on the Exinda appliance with the appropriate settings, using either the Exinda web UI or the CLI.

This article provides step-by-step instructions on how to configure an Exinda appliance for PBR using the web UI.

Process

1. On your browser, open the Exinda web UI (https://<Exinda_IP_address>).
2. Type the username and password.
3. Click Login.
4. Go to Configuration > System > Network > IP Address.
5. In the Interface Settings area, clear the BR10 checkbox.
   • The bridge expands to display eth10 and eth11.
     
     NOTE: If a virtual appliance is hosting the Exinda appliance software, uncheck the BR2 option. The bridge expands to display eth2 and eth3.
6. Go to Configuration > System > Network > IP Address.
7. In the eth11 area, select PBR.
8. In the Static Addresses field, type the IP address and the netmask of the out-of-path Exinda appliance.
9. In the PBR Next-Hop Address field, type the IP address of the router.
10. Click on Apply Changes.
11. To save the changes to the configuration file, click Save in the status bar.
12. Click Configuration > System > Tools > Console to launch the command-line console.

      hostname > enable

    • The hostname # prompt appears.
    • To enter the configuration (config) mode, run the command:
      
      

      hostname # configure terminal

    • The hostname (config)# prompt appears.
13. To set the parameters of eth11, type the following commands:
    
    

    hostname (config)# no interface eth11 dhcp
