Can you add one L3-class to two different policy maps ?

[Hidayat Khan]

Hi Experts;

                Requirement is to have requests from outside as well as inside from different vlan Server to our Production Servers.At present all requests are coming from inside vlan via policy-map multi-match L3_XYZ.  See Example below

policy-map multi-match L3_XYZ

class L3_PROD

   loadbalance vip inservice

   loadbalance policy L7_PROD

   loadbalance vip icmp-reply active

policy-map multi-match L3_OUTSIDE

class L3_PROD

   loadbalance vip inservice

   loadbalance policy L7_PROD

   loadbalance vip icmp-reply active

Many thanks

Regards

Hi Hidayat

yes, class map alone doesn't have any deep meaning and can be reused in many policy maps. Actually policy maps can be reused too, so in your particular example you can put the same policy map on 2 different interfaces. (Sometimes it's a good idea, if requirements are the same for traffic coming from both interfaces or if requirements are diffrent - it's better to create a new one, but class-map definitely can be reused.)
