Does PBF work across different virtual routers?
i.e Will a PBF rule work if the incoming packet is received on an interface associated with one virtual router, and the rule tells it to go out an interface associated with a different virtual router?
I'm assuming it should.. just wanted to clarify..

Hi CMG,
Yes this works fine assuming the following;
both interfaces part or same zone
asymmetric routing not in play
sec policies allowing same
Run the following commands when testing; {apply filters for the source & dst you are testing with.. so counters relevant }
show counter global filter packet-filter yes delta yes
use the following articles if getting droppped due to asymmetric R
run the following cmds to test the pbf rule matches whats expected aswell, replacing IPs as required. Ping protocol number is 1 and what I used for a quick test..
admin@PA-3000> test pbf-policy-match application any from untrust destination 172.25.5.239 protocol 1 source 172.25.4.6
test {
id 1;
from untrust;
source any;
destination any;
user any;
application/service any/any/any/any;
action Forward;
symmetric-return no;
forwarding-egress-IF/VSYS ethernet1/2;
next-hop 0.0.0.0;
terminal no;
}
best regards
