Routing

Routing

Overview

The device provides static and dynamic routing which can be managed and configured from the Routing menu pages. The menu provides the following options:

•Routing Table — View all current routes on the device. Use the Routing Table to view the routes by IP Address and Subnet Mask.

•Static Routes — Review, manage and create static routes for the device. A Static Route defines the gateway to use for a particular network.

•RIP —Enable RIP (unicast routing) globally, view and edit IP interfaces configured with RIP.

•IGMP —Enable IGMP (multicast routing) globally, view and edit IP interfaces configured with IGMP.

•PIM-DM— Enable PIM-DM (multicast routing) globally, view and edit IP interfaces configured with IGMP.

Note If you have configured RIP, IGM, PIM-DM routing on an IP Interface, these options must be enabled globally in order for the routing to be implemented.

For additional information, see the following topics:

•“Routing Table” on page 157

•“Configure the Default Route” on page 156

•“Static Routes” on page 159

•“RIP for IP Interfaces” on page 150

Routing Table

Use the Routing Table page (Network > Routing > Routing Table) to view all current routes on the device by IP Address and Subnet Mask. The table displays up to 250 routes.

From the routing table page, you can:

•Click on a column heading to sort the table by the specified parameter: Destination IP, Subnet Mask, Next Hop, Metric, Age, and Status.

•Select a Records per page setting to change the number of routing entries displayed in the table.

•Click Refresh to update the table with the most current network information.

Note Routes across a VPN are always the most specific. There is no way to configure a static route, or a route learned via RIP to override a VPN route.
