Routing Rules Settings

Under Network > Routing > Routing Rules, you can add a new or edit an existing routing rule.

The Routing Rule configuration dialog allows you to configure the following elements:

Input field	Description
Priority	Set the priority of the routing rule by entering an integer value from `64` to `32767` for custom rules. The rules are sorted by priority in ascending order. This means the system runs through the rules list starting with the system rule with priority `0` until all selectors in a rule match the packet. The action of this rule is then carried out.
Source Subnet	Optional: Enter the IP address of the source subnet in CIDR notation (IP address followed by a slash "/" and the number of bits set in the subnet mask, e. g. `192.168.50.0/24`).
Destination Subnet	Optional: Enter the IP address of the destination subnet in CIDR notation (IP address followed by a slash "/" and the number of bits set in the subnet mask, e. g. `192.168.50.0/24`).
Input Interface	Optional: Select one of the interfaces defined on your LANCOM R&S^®Unified Firewall as the input interface.
Output Interface	Optional: Select one of the interfaces defined on your LANCOM R&S^®Unified Firewall as the output interface.
TOS	Optional: Specify the Type of Service value by entering a hexadecimal number from `0` to `FF`.
Action	Specify the rule action: Goto – Enter the Priority of another routing rule. If a packet matches the selectors in the rule, it goes to the rule with the specified goto priority. Table – Enter the number of a routing table. If a packet matches the selectors in the rule, it runs through the specified routing table. If one of the routes in the table matches the packet, it is routed accordingly. Otherwise, the packet continues to run through the routing rules list. This parameter is displayed in the Action Parameter table column of the routing rules list (for more information, see Routing Rules Overview).

Important:

If you specify none of the selectors, the entire traffic matches the rule.

The buttons at the bottom right of the editor panel depend on whether you add a new routing rule or edit an existing one. For a newly configured routing rule, click Create to add the rule to the list of available routing rules or Cancel to reject the creation of the new rule. To edit an existing rule, click Save to store the reconfigured rule or Reset to discard your changes. You can click Close to shut the editor panel as long as no changes have been made on it.
