Configure static routes

Besides configuring static routes, we can also use this page to set the default gateway.

This page is not available in the LMI when the appliance runs in a Docker environment. This task is only necessary for networks that contain an additional network segment between the user segment and the appliance.

Steps

1. Select System > Network Settings > Static Routes.

2. Select the route table to edit from the Route Table For field. We can use these route tables to configure routes specific to requests destined for a particular local IP address. Use the Default table if specific local IP address control is not required.

3. Take one of the following actions:

   • Click New to create a route.

   • Select an existing route, and then click Edit to change the settings.

   • Select an existing route, and then click Delete to remove it.

4. Define the following information in each field:
   • Enabled
   • Destination To make this route the default gateway, enter Default in the Destination field.
   • Gateway
   • Metric

   • Interface

5. Click Save Configuration.

• Multiple routing tables
  We can configure a specific set of routes for each IP configured on the appliance. This setting can overcome a single point of failure that occurs from having a single interface and gateway for a particular subnet, or from having a single default gateway.
