Hi,
Is it possible to use a common route-map for PBR and apply it in different VRFs?
Consider this config segment:
interface GigabitEthernet0/0.100
encapsulation dot1Q 100
ip vrf forwarding one
ip address 192.168.170.115 255.255.255.254
!
interface GigabitEthernet0/0.200
encapsulation dot1Q 200
ip vrf forwarding two
ip address 192.168.170.115 255.255.255.254
!
interface GigabitEthernet0/0.300
encapsulation dot1Q 300
ip vrf forwarding three
ip address 192.168.170.115 255.255.255.254
!
interface GigabitEthernet0/1
ip vrf forwarding two
ip address 192.168.0.254 255.255.255.0
ip policy route-map pbr2fwl
!
Note that the link address assigned to each sub-interface (in different VRFs) is the same.
If I construct the pbr2fwl route-map like this, then it does not work:
route-map pbr2fwl permit 10
set ip next-hop 192.168.170.114
The documentation suggests I should do this:
route-map pbr2fwl-one permit 10
set ip vrf one next-hop 192.168.170.114
!
route-map pbr2fwl-two permit 10
set ip vrf two next-hop 192.168.170.114
!
route-map pbr2fwl-three permit 10
set ip vrf three next-hop 192.168.170.114
and apply the corresponding route-map to G0/1.
However I've discovered that this appears to work:
route-map pbr2fwl permit 10
set ip next-hop recursive 192.168.170.114
but I can find no explanation as to why. My understanding of recursive is that it's only needed when the next hop is not directly connected:
Is this valid or have I just been lucky? This is on a 7301 running 12.2(33).
Cheers,
Simon
