Route Policies Report

The Route Policies report displays a polled, read-only view of the route policy entries that exist on the appliance(s).

This includes the appliance-based defaults, entries applied manually (via the WebUI or CLI), and entries that result from applying a GMS Route Policies template.

Each appliance's default behavior is to auto-optimize all IP traffic, automatically directing flows to the appropriate tunnel. Auto-optimization strategies reduce the need to create explicit route map entries for optimization. The three strategies that Silver Peak uses are TCP-based auto-opt, IP-based auto-opt, and subnet sharing. By default, all three are enabled on the Templates tab, under System.

The Route Policy, then, only requires entries for flows that are to be:

n	sent pass-through (shaped or unshaped)

n

dropped

n	configured for a specific high-availability deployment

n	routed based on application, VLAN, DSCP, or ACL (Access Control List)

Manage these instances on the Templates tab, under Route Policies.

Tip If you're upgrading from a software version that precedes VXOA 6.2.x, you can migrate subnets from legacy GMS route maps to the appliance's subnet table for subnet sharing. In the menus, go to Maintenance > Tools > Migrate GMS Route Maps.
