Managing the Routes Table

The system populates the routes table with dynamic, auto-discovered routes. Many networks will not require changes to this routing table. If necessary, you can delete routes or add static routes.

To manage the routes table:

Select System > Network > Routes to display the routes table.
Use the controls described in table to manage the routes table.

Controls	Description
View route table for	Use the controls to change the display to show the route table for internal, external, or management interfaces; and for IPv4 or IPv6 routes.
Delete	Select a row in the table and click Delete to delete a route.
New Route	Click New Route and complete the configuration to add a route to the table. You must specify a valid IP address, gateway, DNS address, and metric. The metric is a way of comparing multiple routes to establish precedence. Generally, the lower the number (from 1 to 15), the higher the precedence. Thus, a route with a metric of 2 is chosen over a route with a metric of 14. The metric value of zero (0) identifies the route as one that should not be used.
