Question

Policy Based Routing

hello all

 

does policy based routing work on the interface of the firewall ?

for example if we need to accept connection to an interface on the firewall and then send it back to the next hop on that interface (not the default route on the other interface)

can we use PBR here ?

    You still need to have a route for the destination toward the interface the PBR is pointing to. PBR picks one out of multiple routing options based on other factors such as source interface, addresses, protocaol, etc.

    Depending on how you configure. See the example at KB below. This FGT has two static default routes with different priority. The PBR re-direct a specific outbound traffic toward the low priority interface/ISP.
