Is policy based routing supported on Virtual_EXOS?

Hi, has someone played with policy based routing on Virtual EXOS? Does it works? I've configured it on my virtual exos for NAC captive portal redirect lab, but the virtual exos router don't made the flow redirect of the http traffic as configured...

Hi Antonio, I believe that flow-redirect/PBR use HW resources and won't work in EXOS VM.

You can add a counter in the ACL to confirm. You should see the counter incrementing, but not the next-hop being used.

I can confirm this is the case. I created some PBR's to test a few weeks ago and they did not function, however the counters showed the ACL's being hit.
