Route

This chapter shows you how to configure policies for IP routing and static routes on your ZyWALL.

8.1 Policy Route

Traditionally, routing is based on the destination address only and the ZyWALL takes the shortest path to forward a packet. IP Policy Routing (IPPR) provides a mechanism to override the default routing behavior and alter the packet forwarding based on the policy defined by the network administrator. Policy-based routing is applied to incoming packets on a per interface basis, prior to the normal routing.

8.2 Policy Route Commands

The following table identifies the values required for many of these commands. Other input values are discussed with the corresponding commands.

Table 43 Input Values for General Policy Route Commands

LABEL

DESCRIPTION

address_object

The name of the IP address (group) object. You may use 1-31 alphanumeric

 

characters, underscores(_), or dashes (-), but the first character cannot be a

 

number. This value is case-sensitive.

address6_object

The name of the IPv6 address (group) object. You may use 1-31 alphanumeric

 

characters, underscores(_), or dashes (-), but the first character cannot be a

 

number. This value is case-sensitive.

interface_name

The name of the interface.

 

Ethernet interface: For the ZyWALL USG 300 and above, use gex, x = 1 - N, where N

 

equals the highest numbered Ethernet interface for your ZyWALL model.

 

The ZyWALL USG 200 and lower models use a name such as wan1, wan2, opt,

 

lan1, ext-wlan, or dmz.

 

virtual interface on top of Ethernet interface: add a colon (:) and the number of the

 

virtual interface. For example: gex:y, x = 1 - N, y = 1 - 4

 

VLAN interface: vlanx, x = 0 - 4094

 

virtual interface on top of VLAN interface: vlanx:y, x = 0 - 4094, y = 1 - 12

 

bridge interface: brx, x = 0 - N, where N depends on the number of bridge interfaces

 

your ZyWALL model supports.

 

virtual interface on top of bridge interface: brx:y, x = the number of the bridge

 

interface, y = 1 - 4

 

PPPoE/PPTP interface: pppx, x = 0 - N, where N depends on the number of PPPoE/

 

PPTP interfaces your ZyWALL model supports.
