This field displays whether the static route is active or not. A yellow bulb signifies that this

route is active. A gray bulb signifies that this route is not active.

Name

This is the name that describes or identifies this route.

Destination IP

This parameter specifies the IP network address of the final destination. Routing is always

based on network number.

Subnet Mask

This parameter specifies the IP network subnet mask of the final destination.

Gateway

This is the IP address of the gateway. The gateway is a router or switch on the same

network segment as the device's LAN or WAN port. The gateway helps forward packets to

their destinations.

Interface

Modify

Click the

Edit

icon to edit the static route on the VMG.

Click the

Delete

icon to remove a static route from the VMG. A window displays asking you

to confirm that you want to delete the route.

IP Subnet Mask

If you are using IPv4 and need to specify a route to a single host, use a subnet mask of

255.255.255.255 in the subnet mask field to force the network number to be identical to

the host ID. Enter the IP subnet mask here.

Use Gateway IP

Address

The gateway is a router or switch on the same network segment as the device's LAN or WAN

port. The gateway helps forward packets to their destinations.

If you want to use the gateway IP address, select

The Policy Route Screen

Traditionally, routing is based on the destination address only and the VMG takes the shortest path

to forward a packet. Policy route allows the VMG 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 outgoing packets, prior to the normal routing.

You can use source-based policy forwarding to direct traffic from different users through different

connections or distribute traffic among multiple paths for load sharing.

The

Policy Route

screen let you view and configure routing policies on the VMG. Click

Network

Setting > Routing > Policy Route

to open the

following

screen.

RIP

LABEL

DESCRIPTION

#

This is the index of the interface in which the RIP setting is used.

Interface

This is the name of the interface in which the RIP setting is used.

Version

The RIP version controls the format and the broadcasting method of the RIP

packets that the VMG sends (it recognizes both formats when receiving). RIP

version

1

is universally supported but RIP version

2

carries more information. RIP

version

1

is probably adequate for most networks, unless you have an unusual

network topology.

Operation

Select

Passive

to have the VMG update the routing table based on the RIP

packets received from neighbors but not advertise its route information to other

routers in this interface.

Select

Active

to have the VMG advertise its route information and also listen for

routing updates from neighboring routers.

Enabled

Select the check box to activate the settings.

Apply

Click

Apply

to save your changes back to the VMG.
