9.4 The Policy Routing Screen
Traditionally, routing is based on the destination address only and the VDSL Router takes the
shortest path to forward a packet. Policy routing allows the VDSL Router to override the default
routing behavior and alter the packet routing based on the policy defined by the network
administrator. Policy-based routing is applied to outgoing packets, prior to the normal routing.
You can use source-based policy routing to direct traffic from different users through different
connections or distribute traffic among multiple paths for load sharing.
Use the Policy Routing screen to view and configure routing policies on the VDSL Router. Click
Advanced Setup > Routing > Policy Routing to open the following screen.

DESCRIPTION
Enter the IP address of the gateway when you configure a static route that uses an IP-based
interface (such as IPoE, IPoA, or LAN). The gateway is a router or switch on the same
network segment as the device's LAN or WAN port. The gateway helps forward packets to
their destinations.
