Dear All,
We having two ISP connections in organisation. Now we want to deploy two ISP connections in a Layer3 switch. and have to create policies like that one ISP to certain VLAN in a L3 switch. Another one ISP to a other VLAN.
Is it possible? How to deploy? Please help me to do? wat are all the procedures used to deploy?
Please do the needs.
Thanks in advance. Expecting a reply soon.

Hi,
I think the feature that might be useful in this case is called Policy-based routing (PBR). Take a look here:
But be aware that PBR can lead to assymetric routing - a response to packet from, let's say, vlan 100 sent via ISP1 could come back via ISP2. This could cause problems so plase, bear it in mind when designing such network.
One more link, just an example of PBR dual ISP connection with NAT:

Dear Jan Hrnko,
Really thanks for your kind reply.
Could you able to describe abt PBR in detail with some example networks which is related to my scenario.
If u can explain through any small network using Packet Tracer.
Advance in thanks. Hope will get reply soon.

Hi,
an example configuration for this simple scenario:
interface Ethernet 0
ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0
ip policy route-map ISP1
interface Ethernet 1
ip address 172.16.1.1 255.255.255.0
ip policy route-map ISP2
route-map ISP1 permit 10
match ip address 1
set interface Serial0
route-map ISP2 permit 10
match ip address 2
set interface Serial1
access-list 1 permit 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.255
access-list 2 permit 172.16.1.0 0.0.0.255
Some additional notes regarding the configuration and PBR itself:
PBR is routing with additional criteria such as the sender address.
Match command defines which packets are selected and routed based on policy routing.
The non selected packets are routed based on routing table.
Set command specifies the way how the packet is forwarded, e.g. next-hop ip or interface.
Best regards,
Jan
Dear Jan Hrnko,
Really it was very useful.
Thanks a lot. Thanks.
Hope will meet soon later on.
Takecare.
