Configuring an out-of-path Exinda Appliance for policy based routing
To use policy-based routing, configure the interfaces on the Exinda Appliance with the appropriate settings, using either the Exinda Web UI or the CLICommnad line interface.
Using Exinda Web UI
- On your browser, open the Exinda Web UI (
https://Exinda_IPInternet protocol_address). - Key-in the User and Password.
- Click Login.
- Click Configuration > System > Network > IP Address.
- In the Interface Settings area, clear the BR10 checkbox. The bridge expands to display eth10 and eth11.
NOTE
If a virtual appliance is hosting the Exinda Appliance software, uncheck the BR2 option. The bridge expands to display eth2 and eth3.
- Click Configuration > System > Network > IP Address.
- In the eth11 area, select PBR.
- In the Static Addresses field, type the IP address and netmask of the out-of-path Exinda Appliance.
- In the PBR Next-Hop Address field, type the IP address of the router.
- Click Apply Changes.
- To save the changes to the configuration file, in the status bar click Save.
- Click Configuration > System > Tools > Console to launch the Command Line Console.
- To enter privileged EXEC (enable) mode, at the prompt run the command:
hostname > enable
The hostname # prompt appears.
- To enter configuration (config) mode, at the prompt run the commands:
hostname # configure terminal
The hostname (config)# prompt appears.
- To set the parameters of eth11, type the following commands:
hostname (config)# no interface eth11 dhcp
hostname (config)# interface eth11 display
hostname (config)# interface eth11 duplex auto
hostname (config)# interface eth11 mtu 1500
hostname (config)# no interface eth11 shutdown
hostname (config)# interface eth11 speed auto
Using CLI
- On your browser, open the Exinda Web UI (
https://Exinda_IP_address). - Key-in the User and Password.
- Click Login.
- Click Configuration > System > Tools > Console.
- Type the appliance username and password at the prompts. Do one of the following:
- To enter privileged EXEC (enable) mode, at the prompt run the command:
hostname > enable
The hostname # prompt appears.
- To enter configuration (config) mode, at the prompt run the commands:
hostname # configure terminal
The hostname (config)# prompt appears.
- Remove the BR10 bridge:
hostname (config)# no bridge BR10 enable - Set the IP address and netmask of the out-of-path Exinda Appliance:
hostname (config)# interface eth11 ip address 10.10.10.2 /8 - Identify the interface to be used for policy-based routing:
hostname (config)# pbr interface eth11 - Set the IP address of the router:
hostname (config)# pbr interface ip next-hop 10.10.10.1 - To set the parameters of eth11, type the following commands:
hostname (config)# no interface eth11 dhcp
hostname (config)# interface eth11 display
hostname (config)# interface eth11 duplex auto
hostname (config)# interface eth11 mtu 1500
hostname (config)# no interface eth11 shutdown
hostname (config)# interface eth11 speed auto
