Overview

You can deploy PBR on two subnets serviced by their own Exinda appliances. The configuration detailed below re-routes the traffic from one Exinda appliance to another in case of hardware failure.

Policy-based routing with two subnets

This article provides information on how PBR requests work with two subnets for failover and redundancy.

Information

• The request to access a location on the Internet is made on a client computer.
• The request is sent to the router, where the source and destination are analyzed and compared to the policy configured on the router.
• Based on the results of the analysis, the request is either:
• Sent to the Exinda appliance for optimization, and then back through the router to the requested destination.
  
  (OR)
  
  
• Sent directly to the requested destination.
