3.127. RoutingTable

Description

The system has a predefined main routing table. Alternate routing tables can be defined by the user.

Properties

Name
Specifies a symbolic name for the routing table. (Identifier)
Ordering
Specifies how a route lookup is done in a named routing table. (Default: Only)
RemoveInterfaceIPRoutes
Removes the interface routes. Makes the firewall completely transparent. (Default: No)
Attribute
Special Attribute of the current object. (Optional)
Comments
Text describing the current object. (Optional)

3.127.1. Route

Description

A route defines what interface and gateway to use in order to reach a specified network.

Properties

Name
Specifies a symbolic name for the object. (Optional)
Interface
Specifies which interface packets destined for this route shall be sent through.
Gateway
Specifies the IP address of the next router hop used to reach the destination network. If the network is directly connected to the firewall interface, no gateway address is specified. (Optional)
LocalIP
The IP address specified here will be automatically published on the corresponding interface. This address will also be used as the sender address in ARP queries. If no address is specified, the firewall's interface IP address will be used. (Optional)
Network
Specifies the network address for this route.
BroadcastFwd
By default, broadcast traffic is dropped. Enabling this setting will allow directed broadcast (eg. 192.168.0.255) but general broadcast (255.255.255.255) will still be dropped. (Default: No)
RouteMonitor
Specifies if this route should be monitored for route changes for route failover purposes. (Default: No)
MonitorLinkStatus
Mark the route as down if the interface link status changes to down. (Default: No)
MonitorGateway
Mark the route as down if the next hop does not answer on ARP lookups during a specified time. (Default: No)
MonitorGatewayARPInterval
Specifies the ARP lookup interval in milliseconds. (Default: 1000)
EnableHostMonitoring
Enables the Host Monitoring functionality. (Default: No)
Reachability
Specifies the number of hosts that are required to be reachable to consider the route to be active. (Default: ALL)
GracePeriod
Specifies the time to wait after a reconfiguration until the monitoring begins. (Default: 5)
ReachabilityCount
Minimum number of reachable hosts to consider the route to be active.
Metric
Specifies the metric for this route. (Default: 100)
Attribute
Special Attribute of the current object. (Optional)
ProxyARPAllInterfaces
Always select all interfaces, including new ones, for publishing routes via Proxy ARP. (Default: No)
ProxyARPInterfaces
Specifies the interfaces on which the firewall should publish routes via Proxy ARP. (Optional)
Comments
Text describing the current object. (Optional)
[Note] Note
If no Index is specified when creating an instance of this type, the object will be placed last in the list and the Index will be equal to the length of the list.

3.127.1.1. MonitoredHost

Description

Specify a host and a monitoring method.

Properties

Method
Monitoring method. (Default: ICMP)
IPAddress
Specifies the IP address of the host to monitor.
Port
Specifies the TCP port to monitor.
SourceIPSelection
Which IP should be used as a source IP. (Default: Automatic)
SourceIP
The IP address to be used as source IP.
PollingInterval
Delay in milliseconds between each monitor attempt. (Default: 10000)
ReachabilityRequired
Specifies if this host is required to be reachable for monitoring to be successful. (Default: No)
Samples
Specifies the number of attempts to use for statistical calculations. (Default: 10)
MaxPollFails
Specifies the maximum number of failed attempts until host is considered to be unreachable. (Default: 2)
MaxAverageLatency
Specifies the max average latency for the sample attempts. (Default: 800)
RequestURL
Specifies the HTTP URL to monitor.
ExpectedResponse
Expected HTTP response.
Attribute
Special Attribute of the current object. (Optional)
Comments
Text describing the current object. (Optional)
[Note] Note
If no Index is specified when creating an instance of this type, the object will be placed last in the list and the Index will be equal to the length of the list.

3.127.2. Route6

Description

A route defines what interface and gateway to use in order to reach a specified network.

Properties

Name
Specifies a symbolic name for the object. (Optional)
Network
Specifies the network address for this route.
Interface
Specifies which interface packets destined for this route shall be sent through.
Gateway
Specifies the IPv6 address of the next router hop used to reach the destination network. If the network is directly connected to the firewall interface, no gateway address is specified. (Optional)
LocalIP
The IPv6 address specified here will be automatically published on the corresponding interface. This address will also be used as the sender address in ARP queries. If no address is specified, the firewall's interface IPv6 address will be used. (Optional)
Metric
Specifies the metric for this route. (Default: 100)
Attribute
Special Attribute of the current object. (Optional)
ProxyNDAllInterfaces
Always select all interfaces, including new ones, for publishing routes via Proxy Neighbor Discovery. (Default: No)
ProxyNDInterfaces
Specifies the interfaces on which the firewall should publish routes via Proxy ARP. (Optional)
Comments
Text describing the current object. (Optional)
[Note] Note
If no Index is specified when creating an instance of this type, the object will be placed last in the list and the Index will be equal to the length of the list.

3.127.3. SwitchRoute

Description

A switch route defines which interfaces the specified network can be reached on. Proxy ARP defines between which interfaces ARP is allowed.
