Chapter 7 IP Routing
Configuration | System | IP Routing | Default Gateways
Default Gateway
Enter the IP address of the default gateway or router. Use dotted decimal notation; for example,
192.168.12.77. This address must not be the same as the IP address configured on any VPN 3002
interface. If you do not use a default gateway, enter 0.0.0.0 (the default entry).
To delete a configured default gateway, enter 0.0.0.0.
The default gateway must be reachable from a VPN 3002 interface, and it is usually on the public
network. The Manager displays a warning screen if you enter an IP address that is not on one of its
interface networks, and it displays a dialog box if you enter an IP address that is not on the public
network.
Metric
Enter the metric, or cost, for the route to the default gateway. Use a number from 1 to 16 , where 1 is the
lowest cost. The routing subsystem always tries to use the least costly route. For example, if this route
uses a low-speed line, you might assign a high metric so the system will use it only if all high-speed
routes are unavailable.
Apply / Cancel
To apply the settings for default gateways, and to include your settings in the active configuration, click
Apply. The Manager returns to the Configuration | System | IP Routing screen. If you configure a Default
Gateway, it also appears in the Static Routes list on the Configuration | System | IP Routing | Static
Routes screen.
Reminder:
To save the active configuration and make it the boot configuration, click the Save Needed icon at the
top of the Manager window.
To discard your entries, click Cancel. The Manager returns to the Configuration | System | IP Routing
screen.
