Configuring Static Routing
You can configure static routes to direct packets to the destination network. A
static route is a pre-determined pathway that a packet must travel to reach a
specific host or network. Some ISPs require static routes to build your routing
table instead of using dynamic routing protocols. Static routes do not require CPU
resources to exchange routing information with a peer router. You can also use
static routes to reach peer routers that do not support dynamic routing protocols.
Static routes can be used together with dynamic routes. Be careful not to
introduce routing loops in your network.
To create a static route:
STEP 1
Select Networking > IPv6 > Routing.
STEP 2
In the list of static routes, click Add.
STEP 3
Enter the route name.
STEP 4
If a route is to be immediately active, check the Active box. When a route is added
in an inactive state, it will be listed in the routing table, but will not be used by the
firewall. The route can be enabled later. This feature is useful if the network that the
route connects to is not available when you added the route. When the network
becomes available, the route can be enabled.
STEP 5
In the IPv6 destination field, enter the IPv6 address of the destination host or
network for this route.
STEP 6
In the IPv6 prefix length field, enter the number of prefix bits in the IPv6 address
that define the destination subnet.
STEP 7
Choose the physical network interface through which this route is accessible:
•
WAN—The route goes through the WAN interface.
•
LAN—The route goes through the LAN interface.
