  • Patent number: 11271872
    Abstract: An aggregated switch PBR system includes aggregated switches coupled together by an ICL and to a first core switch by a first LAG. A first aggregated switch includes a first link in the first LAG, and a second link to a second core switch. The first aggregated switch provides a first PBR entry in its PBR table that redirects packets initially provided for forwarding via the second link to the second core switch such that those packets are forwarded via the first link to the first core switch. When the first link becomes unavailable, the first aggregated switch provides a second PBR entry in its PBR table that redirects the packets initially provided for forwarding via the second link to the second core switch such that those packets are forwarded via the ICL to the second aggregated switch for transmission via the first LAG to the first core switch.
