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 CLI.

Process

1. On your browser, open the Exinda web UI (https://<Exinda_IP_address>).
2. Type the username and password.
3. Click Login.
4. Click Configuration > System > Tools > Console.
5. Type the appliance username and password at the prompts. Do one of the following:
   • To enter the privileged EXEC (enable) mode, run the command:
     
     

     hostname > enable

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

     hostname # configure terminal

   • The hostname (config)# prompt appears.
6. Remove the BR10 bridge:
   
   

   hostname (config)# no bridge BR10 enable

7. Set the IP address and the netmask of the out-of-path Exinda appliance:
   
   

   hostname (config)# interface eth11 ip address 10.10.10.2 /8

8. Identify the interface to be used for policy-based routing:
   
   

   hostname (config)# pbr interface eth11

9. Set the IP address of the router:
   
   

   hostname (config)# pbr interface ip next-hop 10.10.10.1

10. To set the parameters of eth11, type the following commands:
    
    

    hostname (config)# no interface eth11 dhcp
    
    hostname (config)# interface eth11 display
    
    hostname (config)# interface eth11 duplex auto
    
    hostname (config)# interface eth11 mtu 1500
    
    hostname (config)# no interface eth11 shutdown
    
    hostname (config)# interface eth11 speed auto
