To enable a PBR, you create a redirect list. Redirect lists are defined by rules, or routing policies. The
following parameters can be defined in the routing policies or rules:
• IP address of the forwarding router (next-hop IP address)
• Protocol as defined in the header
• Source IP address and mask
• Destination IP address and mask
• Source port
• Destination port
• TCP Flags
Once a redirect-list is applied to an interface, all traffic passing through it is subjected to the rules defined
in the redirect-list.
The traffic is forwarded based on the following:
• Next-hop addresses are verified. If the specified next hop is reachable, then the traffic is forwarded to
the specified next-hop.
• If the specified next-hops are not reachable, then the normal routing table is used to forward the
traffic.
• Dell Networking OS supports multiple next-hop entries in the redirect lists.
• Redirect-Lists are applied at Ingress.

tunnel interface IP. The qualifiers of the rule would be pertaining to the inner IP details. For next hop to be
