Policy Based Routing

The document outlines a Python script using Netmiko to configure four Cisco routers (R1, R2, R3, R4) via Telnet. It details the configuration steps for each router, including hostname setup, interface IP assignments, EIGRP routing, and policy-based routing (PBR) for R3. The script connects to each router, applies the configurations, and verifies the output, with specific commands to test PBR functionality.

for dev in devices:


print(f"\n Connecting to {dev['name']}...")

router = {

"host": "[Link]",

Steps:= ⚙️Step 5: Define Device Parameters
In script:
 Specify:
o Device type → cisco_ios_telnet
o Host → [Link]
o Ports → (5000–5003)

🧠 Step 6: Configure Routers via Script


Script performs:
🔹 R1, R2, R4:
 Hostname configuration
 Interface IP assignment
 Bandwidth configuration
 EIGRP routing
🔹 R3:
 Interface configuration
 EIGRP routing
 PBR Configuration:
o ACL creation
o Route-map creation
o Applying policy on interface

🔁 Step 7: Run the Script


In terminal:
python pbr_setup.py

📊 Step 8: Output Verification


After execution:
 Script connects to each router
 Applies configuration
 Displays CLI output
 Saves configuration

🔍 Step 9: Verify in GNS3


Run on routers:
show ip route
show ip policy
show route-map

🧪 Step 10: Test PBR


From R4:
traceroute [Link]
✅ Expected Result:
Traffic follows path based on PBR:
 Controlled via R3
