Enter the packet specific information for this filter.

Note:

Default Forwarding Filter

If you create one or more filters that have a matching action of for ward, then action on a packet matching none of the filters is to block any traffic.

Therefore, if the behavior you want is to force the routing of a certain type of packet and pass all others through the normal routing mechanism, you must configure one filter to match the first type of packet and apply Force Routing. A subsequent filter is required to match and forward all other packets.

Management IP traffic

If the Force Routing filter is applied to source IP addresses, it may inadvertently block communication with the router itself. You can avoid this by preceding the Force Routing filter with a filter that matches the destination IP address of the router itself.
