Defining a router
Routers do not manage virtual servers, rather they manage the links to the
Internet for your network. Before you define a router in the 3-DNS
configuration, you should have the following information:
The name of the router
The IP address of the router (this is the gateway IP address)
The IP addresses of the links that the router manages
Note
If you have a Link Controller or BIG-IP system in your network, the
auto-configuration process adds the routers to the configuration for you.
Note, however, that for BIG-IP systems, auto-configuration adds only one
router per data center. Use the following procedure only if you have
auto-configuration turned off.

To define a router using the Configuration utility

1. In the navigation pane, expand the Servers item, then click
Routers.
2. On the toolbar, click Add Router.
The Add New Router screen opens.
