Configuring a Destination Route

The destination route is a manually-configured route entry that determines the next routing hop based on the destination IP address. Usually a network with comparatively a small number of outbound connections or stable Intranet connections will use a destination route. You can add a default route entry at your own choice as needed.

Creating a Destination Route

To create a destination route, take the following steps:

1. On the Navigation pane, click Configure > Network > Routing to visit the Routing page.
2. On the Destination Route tab, click New.
3. In the Destination Route Configuration dialog, type the IP address for the route into the Destination box.
4. Type the corresponding subnet mask into the Subnet mask box.
5. To specify the type of next hop, click Gateway or Interface. If Gateway is selected, type the IP address into the Gateway box below; if Interface is selected, select a name from the Interface drop-down list below. For a tunnel interface, you need to type the gateway address for the tunnel's peer in the optional box below.
6. Type the route precedence into the Precedence box. The smaller the parameter is, the higher the precedence is. If multiple routes are available, the route with higher precedence will be prioritized. The value range is 1 to 255. The default value is 1. When the value is set to 255, the route is invalid.
7. Type the weight for the route into the Weight box. This parameter is used to determine the weight of traffic forwarding in load balance. The value range is 1 to 255. The default value is 1.
8. Click OK to complete.

Deleting a Destination Route

To delete a destination route, take the following steps:

1. On the Navigation pane, click Configure > Network > Routing to visit the Routing page.
2. On the Destination Route tab, select the route entry you want to delete from the route list, and then click Delete.
