Dynamic MAC address detection for a Layer 3 policy-based redirect destination

You can configure any of the Layer 3 policy-based redirect (PBR) destinations without specifying a MAC address, which causes the leaf switches to use the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) to determine the MAC address of the PBR next-hop. The benefit is that you do not need to check the MAC address of each PBR destination and an active-standby HA pair does not need to use a floating MAC address.
