Routing Configuration Dialog
In the Network page’s action list, the Routing Configuration command opens the Routing Configuration 
dialog, where you can add or delete network routing rules (IPv4, IPv6, or both, depending on the System 
IP type
 setting on the Network page). The Show raw routing configuration button lets you view the 
operating system’s underlying routing configuration. 
In a split network configuration, routing rules are necessary for proper routing of network traffic. In a 
combined network configuration, the operating system’s underlying routing configuration is likely sufficient 
unless you need a special rule or rules for your particular network. If you aren’t sure, consult the appropriate 
IT staff or network administrator for your organization. 
The following table describes the fields in the Routing Configuration dialog. If System IP type is set to 
IPv4 + IPv6, the dialog contains two essentially identical sections, one for each IP type. Each section 
contains the input fields listed below, a table showing the defined routing rules, and buttons for adding and 
deleting routes. 
Management DSCP 
The Differentiated Services Code Point value (0 - 63) to put in the DS field of 
IP packet headers on outbound packets associated with management traffic 
(including communications to other clusters. 
The DSCP value is used to classify packets for quality of service (QoS) 
purposes. If you’re not sure what value to use, leave the default of 0. 
Default IPv6 gateway 
The IPv6 gateway’s address and the interface used to access it, generally 
eth0, specified as: 
<IPv6_address>%eth0 
Default IPv4 gateway 
If management and signaling traffic are on separate networks, select which of 
the two networks’ gateway servers is the default. 
Your choice depends on your network configuration and routing. Typically, 
unless all the endpoints, MCUs, and other devices that communicate with the 
system are on the same subnet, you’d select the signaling network. 
Note: Route configuration applies to current network settings
You can only configure route settings that are valid for the currently applied settings in Admin > Local 
Cluster > Network Settings
. If you need to change the network settings and routing configuration, 
make and apply the network settings changes first. Keep this in mind if you receive an error when 
attempting to change the routing configuration.
