WAN tag creation defines the source for the assignment of interface tags. Besides assignment via the firewall or direct assignment via the tag table, the interface tag can also be selected based on the effective routing table (static routing entries plus routes learned via RIP). The tag selected from this routing table is is for the route that matches both the remote site and the associated network. If the effective routing table contains more than one entry for a remote site with the same network, the smallest tag is used.
SNMP ID: 2.8.22
Telnet path: /Setup/IP-Router
Possible values:
- Manual: With this setting, the interface tags are determined solely by an entry in the tag table. The routing table has no significance in the assignment of interfaces tags.
- Auto: With this setting, the interface tags are determined initially by an entry in the Tag table. If no matching entry is located there, the tag is determined based on the routing table.
Default: Manual:
Note: The interface tags determined via the tag table and on the basis of the routing table can be overwritten with an appropriate entry in the firewall.
