Create a Policy-Based Redirect

Configure the policy based redirect that sends the traffic between your EPGs to the firewall. Policy based redirect leverages the MAC address of the interface on the firewall. Before configuring the PBR setting on the APIC, you must get the MAC address from the firewall.

Get the MAC address of the firewall.
1. Log into the firewall CLI.
2. Use the command show interface all to display the MAC addresses of your configured interfaces.
3. Copy the MAC address of the interface that will receive the redirected traffic.
