Route Map with IOS-XE Guestshell

[WGL_BK]

Hello. I'm trying to use a route map to designate an egress interface/next hop IP for iperf traffic from one branch router's Guestshell to another. I applied the route map to the virtualportgroup 0 interface but traffic from the Guestshell traffic doesn't seem to be obeying it. Wondering where I'd need to apply the route map, or if this is even possible. Any suggestions?

most cases - Guest Shell environment is intended for tools, Linux utilities, and manageability rather than networking.

but i would be more intrested to look your configuraiton to undertand and confirm what works and what is not going to work.

Hello Balaji. Thanks for your prompt reply. Would you like my route-map config, my guestshell config or both?

Route-map how you apply, since this Virtual port group - like VRF, how you doing want to check, may be some Limitation here.

Balaji, it seems I made a basic mistake. I used "set interface" in the route-map clause and I didn't set the link to P2P. I changed to "set ip next-hop" and now I'm seeing traffic match the route-maps. My apologies, and thank you because I wouldn't have rechecked my config if you hadn't asked for it.

Below is the corrected, working version for both sites. Seems to work as expected.

interface VirtualPortGroup0
 description -- GUESTSHELL I/F --
 ip address 10.4.0.1 255.255.255.0
 ip policy route-map RM_site1
 ip ospf 28 area 0

ip access-list extended ACL_to_site2
 permit ip any host 10.6.0.2
 # 10.6.0.2 is the IP of the shell

route-map RM_site1 permit 20
 match ip address ACL_to_site2
 set ip next-hop 172.16.0.11
