Hi,
I need help regarding the PBR implementation. We have a layer 3 access switch with VLANS 2, 5, and 9 configured on it with SVI's (1.1.2.0/23, 1.1.5.0/23, and 1.1.9.0/23 respectively) and EIGRP enabled on it. I am attaching the config file of access switch for reference. This layer 3 switch is connected to Two core layer 3 switches (4506E). They are connected through 1) port channel 1 (1/0/50 and 3/0/50) on access switch to core 1 port channel 17 (3/17 and 3/18). 2) port channel 2 (1/0/52 and 3/0/52) on access switch to core 2 port channel 17 (3/17 and 3/18). I would like to implement the PBR on access switch telling all the subnets should pass through port channel 1 and portchannel 2. Below is the config I proposed, please let me know if this works fine if one of the port channels 1 of core 1 will get down. If not, I'll appreciate if any expert advice.
access-list 111 permit ip 1.1.2.0 0.0.1.255 any
access-list 222 permit ip 1.1.5.0 0.0.1.255 any
access-list 333 permit ip 1.1.9.0 0.0.1.255 any
!
route-map net-10 permit 10
match ip address 111
set interface Po1
!
route-map net-10 permit 20
match ip address 222
set interface Po1
!
route-map net-10 permit 30
match ip address 333
set interface Po1
!
route-map net-10 permit 40
!
int vlan 2
ip policy route-map net-10
!
int vlan 5
ip policy route-map net-10
!
int vlan 9
ip policy route-map net-10
!
But the problem here is if suppose Core 1, port channel-1 goes down then how this policy will route back to core-2 port channel 2. Will appreciate any help or expert advice on this .
Thanks

PBR doesn't change the routing table or what routes are received. PBR simply overrides the routing table ie. PBR will send the traffic to the next-hop you have specified regardless of what is in the routing table.

Thanks Jon got it. I was testing this in the LAB and I don't have the setup in the lab like production network. I think I can try this by raising the change request and test on the production network with the given down time.
Will provide you an update on this once its done.
Thanks once again.
