Policy Based Routing

[trismegistus]

Hi

Does anyone know what modules on the 2600XM range support PBR?

I don't need to know which IOS or which model, but which WIC or NM.

Cheers

I didnt think this was hardware dependant? I've never come across such a restriction.

I didn't either, but we were told by Cisco the 8540MSR would do it, then that only on Gigabit interfaces.

Since then i've found that the only info I can find on it is in relation to DSL or voice and this is a data only, non-dsl requirement.

aaaaaaarrggghhhh

Well I think Cisco have told you porky's, I've recently used PBR on 2600 with WIC-1T, 2T, and various LAN interfaces.

Go into config mode on an Interface, try the command IP POLICY ?
If your presented with options your router supports PBR. If it says unrecognised command I'd better look for another job!

policy based rounting is a IOS feature and not a hardware feature. I didn't check the cisco's web site, but i believe that the IOS IP only had suport.
you can test if your router have PBR by triyng to set up a policy route and then attaching it to a interface.
example:

route-map test permit 10
match interface ethernet0
set ip precedence 0
set ip next-hop 192.168.10.254

interface ethernet0
ip policy route-map test

hope this can help you

I thought this was the case too, but the 8540 let you enter the config for PBR and didn't show any error messages. It didn't policy based route either. That was wen we learned from Cisco that it was only on gig interfaces on the 8540.

I am open to other suggestions on how to achieve the following:

Data (only) comes in one fast ethernet port. That data is then routed to one of four egress ports dependent on its source address.

The only mention I can find of this is in relation to DSL or voice.
