Configuring IP routes settings
If the Video Firewall feature is enabled (see
), you will need to set up one or more
routing settings to control how IP traffic flows in and out of the MCU.
It is important that these settings are configured correctly, or you may be unable to make calls or access the
web interface.

IP routes configuration
In this section you can control how IP packets should be directed out of the MCU. You should only change
this configuration if you have a good understanding of the topology of the network(s) to which the MCU is
connected.

Adding a new IP route
To add a new route, enter the details using the table below for reference. Click Add IP route to make the
addition. If the route already exists, or aliases (overlaps) an existing route, you will be prompted to correct the
problem and try again. The MCU can support up to 128 routes in total.
