Routes
- The firewall has a routing table for directing traffic between different network zones as per the network configuration.
- Click 'Status' > 'Network Status' to view the default routing table.
- You can also create custom routes to connect to other networks through devices like external routers or VPN tunnels.
Two types of custom routes can be created:
- Static Routes - A static route is between a source network and a destination network through a specific gateway or uplink.
- Policy Routes - A rule that defines the route between specific network addresses, zones, or services (expressed as port and protocol) and a specific uplink.
Custom routes can be added and managed through the 'Routes' interface ('Network' > 'Routing'):
The interface contains two tabs:
- Static Routing – Displays a list of existing static routes and allows administrators to add new static routes. See Add and Manage Static Routes for more details
- Policy
Routing - Displays a list of existing policy routing rules and allows administrators to add new rules. See Add
and Manage Policy Routing Rules for more details
