Use the Route page to create static routes on the system. Static routes may be needed to support network applications (such as a web server) that are allowed through the firewall and directed to a specific IP address or subnet.

Caution

Static routes may prevent the other networking features in the system from functioning properly.

  1. Choose Network > Static Routes.

  2. Configure settings using the information in the following table as a guide. When you have finished configuring settings, click Add to make your changes take effect. Click Submit All to save all settings on the page.
