Click Add.

The Add Route dialog box appears.

3

Click the Host option.

In the Gateway text box, enter the route gateway.

Be sure to specify a route IP address that is on the same network as the Firebox.

Click OK.

The Setup Routes dialog box lists the newly configured host route.

Click OK.

The route data is written to the configuration file.

so manually. From Policy Manager:

The Network Configuration dialog box appears.

2

Click the tab of the interface requiring modification.

In the IP Address text box, type the interface address in slash notation.

if you need to modify the default gateway, you can do so manually. From Policy
