Chapter 7 IP Routing

Configuration System IP Routing Default Gateways

Destination

Click a radio button to select the outbound destination for these packets. You can select only one destination: either a specific router/gateway, or a VPN 3002 interface.

Destination Router Address

Enter the IP address of the specific router or gateway to which to route these packets; that is, the IP address of the next hop between the VPN 3002 and the packet’s ultimate destination. Use dotted decimal notation; for example, 10.10.0.2. We recommend that you select this option.

Interface

Click the drop-down menu button and select a configured VPN 3002 interface as the outbound destination. We do not recommend this option; enter a destination router address above.

Add or Apply / Cancel

To add a new static route to the list of configured routes, click Add. Or to apply your changes to a static route, click Apply. Both actions include your entries in the active configuration. The Manager returns to the Configuration System IP Routing Static Routes screen. Any new route appears at the bottom of the Static Routes list.

Reminder:To save the active configuration and make it the boot configuration, click the Save Needed icon at the top of the Manager window.

To discard your entries, click Cancel. The Manager returns to the Configuration System IP Routing Static Routes screen, and the Static Routes list is unchanged.

Configuration System IP Routing Default Gateways

This screen lets you configure the default gateway for IP routing. You use this same screen both to initially configure and to change default gateways. You can also configure the default gateway on the Configuration Quick System Info screen.

The IP routing subsystem routes data packets first using static routes, then the default gateway. If you do not specify a default gateway, the system drops packets it can not otherwise route.
