Device: Select the network interface from the dropdown
menu (e.g. ethernet-wan). You can use this instead of
defining the IP address, especially in cases when the IP
address is changing.
Metric: Set the numerical priority of the route. Lower
numbers have higher priority.
Allow Network Access: (Default: Deselected.) Some static
routes will need an IP Filter Rule via the Firewall to allow
packets through the route without being blocked. Selecting
this option automatically creates this IP Filter Rule. If the IP/
Network Address falls outside the LAN IP range, you probably
need to select this option.
Distribute: Allow this static route to be distributed via a
routing protocol (BGP, OSPF, RIP, RIPng).
BGP
The latest version of BGP (Border Gateway Protocol) is version 4. BGP-4 is one of the Exterior Gateway
Protocols and de facto standard of Inter Domain routing protocol. BGP-4 is described in RFC1771, A Border
Gateway Protocol 4 (BGP-4). BGP is a distance vector routing protocol, and the AS-Path framework provides
distance vector metric and loop detection to BGP RFC1930.
BGP Editor
• Name: Unique name of the policy.
• ASN: The AS (Autonomous System) number is one of
the essential elements of BGP.
• Router-ID: This sets the router-ID of the BGP process.
The router-ID may be an IP address of the router, but
need not be – it can be any arbitrary 32-bit number.
However it *MUST* be unique within the entire BGP
domain to the BGP speaker: bad things will happen if
multiple BGP speakers are configured with the same
router-ID.
• Enabled: Click to enable/disable the policy. (Default:
enabled.)
Networks Associated with ASN or IPv6 Networks
Associated with ASN: To configure a BGP router, you
need an AS number. An AS number is an identification of
autonomous system. BGP protocol uses the AS number
for detecting whether the BGP connection is internal one
or external one. Use the IPv4 address and netmask or
IPv6 address with a CIDR notation
Neighbor Options or IPv6 Neighbor Options: Creates a new neighbor identified by remote ASN and IP address.
Redistribute Routes: Redistribute routes of the specified protocol or kind into BGP, with the metric type and
metric set if specified, filtering the routes using the given route map if specified. Redistributed routes may
also be filtered with distribute lists.
