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.

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

number. This value is case-sensitive.
address6_object
The name of the IPv6 address (group) object. You may use 1-31 alphanumeric
characters, underscores(

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.
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
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.
