ns pbr

The following operations can be performed on "ns pbr":

add | rm | set | unset | enable | disable | stat | show

add ns pbr

Adds a policy based route (PBR) to the NetScaler appliance. To commit this operation, you must apply the PBRs.A PBR specifies criteria for selecting outgoing IPv4 packets and, typically, a next hop to which to send the selected packets. For example, you can configure the NetScaler appliance to route outgoing packets from a specific IP address or range to a particular next hop router.Note: The NetScaler appliance process PBRs before processing the RNAT rules.

Synopsys

add ns pbr <name> <action> [-td <positive_integer>] [-srcIP [<operator>] <srcIPVal>] [-srcPort [<operator>] <srcPortVal>] [-destIP [<operator>] <destIPVal>] [-destPort [<operator>] <destPortVal>] ((-nextHop <nextHopVal>) | (-ipTunnel <ipTunnelName>)) [-srcMac <mac_addr>] [-protocol <protocol> | -protocolNumber <positive_integer>] [-vlan <positive_integer> | -vxlan <positive_integer>] [-interface <interface_name>] [-priority <positive_integer>] [-msr ( ENABLED | DISABLED ) [-monitor <string>]] [-state ( ENABLED | DISABLED )]

Arguments

name

Name for the PBR. Must begin with an ASCII alphabetic or underscore \(_\) character, and must contain only ASCII alphanumeric, underscore, hash \(\#\), period \(.\), space, colon \(:\), at \(@\), equals \(=\), and hyphen \(-\) characters. Can be changed after the PBR is created.

action

Action to perform on the outgoing IPv4 packets that match the PBR.

Available settings function as follows:

  • ALLOW - The NetScaler appliance sends the packet to the designated next-hop router.

  • DENY - The NetScaler appliance applies the routing table for normal destination-based routing.

Possible values: ALLOW, DENY

td

Integer value that uniquely identifies the traffic domain in which you want to configure the entity. If you do not specify an ID, the entity becomes part of the default traffic domain, which has an ID of 0.

Minimum value: 0

Maximum value: 4094

srcIP

IP address or range of IP addresses to match against the source IP address of an outgoing IPv4 packet. In the command line interface, separate the range with a hyphen and enclose within brackets. For example: [10.102.29.30-10.102.29.189].

srcPort

Port number or range of port numbers to match against the source port number of an outgoing IPv4 packet. In the command line interface, separate the range with a hyphen and enclose within brackets. For example: [40-90].

Note: The destination port can be specified only for TCP and UDP protocols.

destIP

IP address or range of IP addresses to match against the destination IP address of an outgoing IPv4 packet. In the command line interface, separate the range with a hyphen and enclose within brackets. For example: [10.102.29.30-10.102.29.189].

destPort

Port number or range of port numbers to match against the destination port number of an outgoing IPv4 packet. In the command line interface, separate the range with a hyphen and enclose within brackets. For example: [40-90].

If you specify a link load balancing (LLB) virtual server, which can provide a backup if a next hop link fails, first make sure that the next hops bound to the LLB virtual server are actually next hops that are directly connected to the NetScaler appliance. Otherwise, the NetScaler throws an error when you attempt to create the PBR.
