Time Based Routing

[ricky.ng]

Scenario

- Country A has 2 connections to Country B

- One is Primary and another one is Secondary

- From 9AM to 5PM, customer want to route the email traffic via Secondary Link

- From 5PM to 9AM , customer want to router the email traffic via Primary Link

Does anyone know any technique to perform the the routing policy mentioned?

[mark.edwards]

I imagine policy routing with a time backed ACL would work.something like the below (not sure iof you want this for POP3 or SMTP. For times outside 9-5 make sure the routing will route traffic by default over the primary link.

access-list 110 permit tcp any any eq smtp time-range 9-5

route-map POLICY permit 10

match ip address 110

set ip next-hop

time-range 9-5

periodic daily 9:00 to 17:00
