Routing information is used by every computer connected to a network to identify whether it is sending a data packet directly
to the Firewall or passing it on to another network. There are two types of routes used by the firewall, interface routes that
describe routing entries for directly connected networks and static routes that describe routes which are to be routed using a
secondary router. You can add and delete entries in both these type of routes.

describe routing entries for directly connected networks and static routes that describe routes which are to be routed using a
secondary router. You can add and delete entries in both these type of routes.
The RouteFinder itself adds routing entries for directly connected networks. These routes are called Interface Routes.
Further entries for networks in which the RouteFinder itself is NOT a member must be made manually (e.g., if there is a
second router on the network and a particular network is to be routed to it, for example if the second router is to be
responsible for this network).
