Ingress and egress Hot lock PBR allows you to add or delete new rules into an existing policy (already written
into content address memory [CAM]) without disruption to traffic flow. Existing entries in content addressable
memory (CAM) are adjusted to accommodate the new entries. Hot Lock PBR is enabled by default.

PBR Exceptions (Permit)
To create an exception to a redirect list, use thepermit command. Exceptions are used when a forwarding
decision should be based on the routing table rather than a routing policy.
The Dell Networking OS assigns the first available sequence number to a rule configured without a sequence
number and inserts the rule into the PBR CAM region next to the existing entries. Because the order of rules is
important, ensure that you configure any necessary sequence numbers.
Never apply the permit statement because the redirect list covers all source and destination IP addresses.
ip redirect-list rcl0
seq 5 redirect 2.2.2.2 ip any any
seq 10 permit ip host 3.3.3.3 any
To ensure the permit permit statement or PBR exception is effective, use a lower sequence number, as
shown:
ip redirect-list rcl0
seq 10 permit ip host 3.3.3.3 any
seq 15 redirect 2.2.2.2 ip any any
