 Chapter 9 Routing

VMG1312-B10A User’s Guide

Use this screen to add or edit a static route. Click Add new static route in the Routing screen or 
the Edit icon next to the static route you want to edit. The screen shown next appears.

Routing: Add/Edit

The following table describes the labels in this screen. 

Traditionally, routing is based on the destination address only and the Device takes the shortest 
path to forward a packet. Policy forwarding allows the Device 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.

Routing: Add/Edit

Active

Destination IP 
Address

Enter the IPv4 or IPv6 network address of the final destination. 

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 Enable.
