Configuring an ISP Route

System > Network > Routing > ISP Route

Generally many users might apply for multiple lines for load balancing purpose. However, a typical balance will not function based on the traffic's direction. If a ISP-A's server is accessed through ISP-B, the speed will be rather low. For such a scenario, the system provides ISP Route which allows traffics from different ISPs to take their proprietary routes, thus accelerating network access.

In the ISP Route page, you can perform the following actions:

Click New to create a new ISP route item.
Click Delete to delete the selected ISP route items.

Options in the ISP Route Configuration dialog:

Option	Description
ISP Profile	Select an ISP profile name from the drop-down list.
Next-hop	To specify the type of next hop, click Gateway or Interface. If Gateway is selected, also type the IP address into the Gateway box below; if Interface is selected, also select a name from the Interface drop-down list below.
Precedence	Type the route precedence into the textbox. 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.
Weight	Type the weight for the ISP route into the textbox. 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.
