Routing Table Configuration
Every host has a default routing table that it uses to determine which physical interface address to use for outgoing IP traffic. The router supports virtual routing, which allows you to define multiple routing tables for a single host. Each routing table added has a defined range of IP source addresses that use that table. The router determines which routing table to use based on the source address in the packet.
For example, if the router receives a packet whose source address is 192.168.254.10, it checks if that address is within the address range defined for a virtual routing table. If it is, the virtual routing table is used to route the packet. If it is not, the default routing table is used instead.
To configure additional routing tables:
1.Click Routing Table Configuration on the left navigation pane of the Router Information page. This displays the Routing Table Configuration page.
2.From the Interface
3.Click Select. This expands the Routing Table Configuration page.

6.Click Add.
7.Click Save.
