The settings allow you to add a new or edit existing routing tables.
The Routing Table configuration dialog allows you to configure the following elements:
| Input field | Description |
|---|---|
| Table Number | Enter an ID for the routing table. Custom routing tables receive the ID 512 or higher. You must configure routing rules pointing to custom routing tables, otherwise those tables are not used (see Routing Rules). |
| Routes | This table displays the custom routes that are specified in the routing table. Click Add to open the Edit Route panel and define a new route. You can edit or delete individual entries in the list by clicking the corresponding button next to an entry. |
The Edit Route configuration dialog allows you to configure the following elements:
| Input field | Description |
|---|---|
| Destination | Enter the IP address of the destination network 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). |
| Interface | Select an interface for the route. |
| Gateway | Enter an IP address as the gateway for this route. Traffic from the source zone to the destination network will be routed using this gateway (rather than the standard gateway). |
| Type | Select the address type from the drop-down list. |
| Preferred Source | Only packets with the selected sender address will be routed. |
| Metric | Define the costs for the route. The value entered here concerns routing protocols. A higher metric means the route is considered costly and is less likely to be chosen. |
Click OK to save your routing settings and to return to the Routing Table panel.
The buttons at the bottom right of the editor panel depend on whether you add a new routing table or edit an existing one. For a newly configured routing table, click Create to add the table to the list of available routing tables or Cancel to discard your changes. To edit an existing routing table, click Save to store the reconfigured table 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.
