Working with Source-Based Routing
Introduction
Source-based routing directs traffic to a specific destination based on the source IP address or a combination of the source and destination IP addresses.
Rules defining Source-based routing take precedence over ordinary destination-based routing rules.
This section describes how to configure sourced-based routing rules when working in a VSX
environment.
The procedures for defining source-based rules are the same for Virtual Routers in both VSX Gateways and VSX Clusters.
