4.3.5. The Ordering parameter Chapter 4. Routing Example 4.5. Policy Based Routing Configuration This example illustrates a multiple ISP scenario which is a common use of Policy-based Routing. The following is assumed: • Each ISP will give you an IP network from its network range. We will assume a 2-ISP scenario, with the network 10.10.10.0/24 belonging to "ISP A" and "20.20.20.0/24" belonging to "ISP B". The ISP gateways are 10.10.10.1 and 20.20.20.1, respectively. • All addresses in this scenario are public addresses for the sake of simplicity. • This is a "drop-in" design, where there are no explicit routing subnets between the ISP gateways and the D-Link Firewall. In a provider-independent network, clients will likely have a single IP address, belonging to one of the ISPs. In a single-organization scenario, publicly accessible servers will be configured with two separate IP addresses: one from each ISP. However, this difference does not matter for the policy routing setup itself. Note that, for a single organization, Internet connectivity through multiple ISPs is normally best done with the BGP protocol, where you do not need to worry about different IP spans or policy routing. Unfortunately, this is not always possible, and this is where Policy Based Routing becomes a necessity. We will set up the main routing table to use ISP A, and add a named routing table, "r2" that uses the default gateway of ISP B.

Add the route found in the list of routes in the routing table "r2", as shown earlier. 4.

Example 4.5. Policy Based Routing Configuration
This example illustrates a multiple ISP scenario which is a common use of Policy-based Routing. The following is
assumed:
Each ISP will give you an IP network from its network range. We will assume a 2-ISP scenario, with the
network 10.10.10.0/24 belonging to "ISP A" and "20.20.20.0/24" belonging to "ISP B". The ISP gateways are
10.10.10.1 and 20.20.20.1, respectively.
All addresses in this scenario are public addresses for the sake of simplicity.
This is a "drop-in" design, where there are no explicit routing subnets between the ISP gateways and the
D-Link Firewall.
In a provider-independent network, clients will likely have a single IP address, belonging to one of the ISPs. In a
single-organization scenario, publicly accessible servers will be configured with two separate IP addresses: one
from each ISP. However, this difference does not matter for the policy routing setup itself.
Note that, for a single organization, Internet connectivity through multiple ISPs is normally best done with the BGP
protocol, where you do not need to worry about different IP spans or policy routing. Unfortunately, this is not
always possible, and this is where Policy Based Routing becomes a necessity.
We will set up the main routing table to use ISP A, and add a named routing table, "r2" that uses the default
gateway of ISP B.

To configure this example scenario:
Web Interface
1.
Add the routes found in the list of routes in the main routing table, as shown earlier.
2.
Create a routing table called "r2" and make sure the ordering is set to "Default".
3.
Add the route found in the list of routes in the routing table "r2", as shown earlier.
4.
Add two VR policies according to the list of policies shown earlier.
Go to
Routing > Routing Rules > Add > Routing Rule
Enter the information found in the list of policies displayed earlier
Repeat the above to add the second rule
