19.5 Policy Route Edit

Click ADVANCED > POLICY ROUTE to open the Policy Route Summary screen. Then click the edit icon to open the Edit IP Policy Route screen. WAN 2 refers to the 3G card on the supported ZyWALL in router mode.

Use this screen to configure a policy route to override the default (shortest path) routing behavior and forward packets based on the criteria you specify. A policy route defines the matching criteria and the action to take when a packet meets the criteria. The action is taken only when all the criteria are met. Policy-based routing is applied to incoming packets on a per interface basis before normal routing. The ZyWALL does not perform normal routing on packets that match any of the policy routes.
