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. Figure 61 Routing: Add/Edit The following table describes the labels in this screen. Table 39 Routing: Add/Edit LABEL Active DESCRIPTION This field allows you to activate/deactivate this static route. Route Name IP Type Destination IP Address IP Subnet Mask Use Gateway IP Address Select this to enable the static route. Clear this to disable this static route without having to delete the entry. Enter a descriptive name for the static route. Select whether your IP type is IPv4 or IPv6. Enter the IPv4 or IPv6 network address of the final destination. 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. 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. Gateway IP Address Use Interface Apply Cancel If you want to use the gateway IP address, select Enable. Enter the IP address of the gateway. Select the WAN interface you want to use for this static route. Click Apply to save your changes. Click Cancel to exit this screen without saving. 9.3 The Policy Forwarding 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. SBG3300-N Series User's Guide 201
