Local Policy Based Routing in ASA

JohnJudi — Thu, 28 Apr 2022 09:36:53 GMT

Hi friends

In routers, we can configure local policy based routing to affect purely locally generated traffic by the router.

Does cisco ASA have this feature too?

Thanks in advance for your reply

Thanks @Rob Ingram !

I know The ASA supports PBR, my question is that "does the ASA support Local PBR or not?"

like this example for router:

@JohnJudi ok, I think not. The cisco ASA guides do not explictly state it is supported.

https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/security/asa/asa914/configuration/general/asa-914-general-config/route-policy-based.html

The guide does state "Policy Based Routing is an ingress-only feature; that is, it is applied only to the first packet of a new incoming connection" - so therefore it would apply to traffic routed through the ASA, not sourced from the ASA itself.
