PBR Policy Based Routing using Managed Switch
I am no expert with networks, but I am wondering if anyone has had any experience with PBR (Policy Based Routing) using Netgear Managed Switches. More specifically I am wanting to define the onward ...
You should be able to do it. PBR should be able to override the next hop for you. There are few gottacha when it comes to PBR.
So in this case, let say you have need to have 2 learned route for destination 172.168.0.0 /24 via 192.168.1.1 and another entry in route table for same network via 192.168.2.1
Now you can override based on source address (route-map) that if source is x then next hop is 192.168.1.1 or if source is y then next hop is 192.168.2.1
Hope that helps clarify it. Post back if you have tried any specific command and your route table if you want any further help or discussion on it. PBR is CLI only.
Apologies for it being such a long time for a reply, but work comittments have kept me away from this project, however I am looking at it again in earnest.
I have been reading through the V10.0 CLI manual for the switch (as this is the firmware I am running) and I can't seem to find the section whereby I specify the next hop IP based upon the source IP address (not the destination).
I had a go at using ACLs to achieve what I wanted, but didn't seem to work as I was intending.
Any extra pointers or suggestions at this juncture would be much appreciated.
I have checked you profile and found out that you have an M5300-52G3 switch registered under your name.
Policy-based routing is not mentioned in the CLI user manual (Software Version 10.x). However, it is mentioned in the CLI user manual (Software Version 11.x). According to page 691 of the CLI user manual (Software Version 11.x) here, policy-based routing are only applicable to M6100 series switches.
Also, policy-based routing is not mentioned in the M5300 series data sheet. Whereas in the M6100 series data sheet, policy-based routing is indicated as one of the features. You may double-check on the following data sheets below:

I just want to follow-up on this. We’d greatly appreciate your feedback.

I had to abandon PBR plans for this setup, as you pointed out, the switch I have doesn't support it.
ACLs didn't seem to be giving me the desired results either.
I ended up changing the way in which I was implementing a particular device, and used Tagged packets to achieve what I wanted to.
