Cisco Catalyst 4500 Policy Based Routing

2

In order to test a new firewall I just set up I'm trying to implement policy based routing on our core switch. I want traffic from certain vlans to be routed to the new firewall while everything else continues being routed through the old firewall. I was trying to use this guide. Everything from that guide works fine except trying to run the "ip policy route-map" command in the interface configuration mode. IOS is telling me that such a command doesn't exist. A "show ip interface vlan" command says that policy routing is disabled. Any ideas?

Output of "show ver":

You have an "IPBASEK9" image, but you need "ENTERPRISESERVICES" to use Policy-based routing; you probably want ENTERPRISESERVICESK9, since the original image is a crypto image (K9 suffix).

Please see page 2 of this Catalyst 4500 Features at a Glance brochure.
