5.4.10 Policy Routes

Use policy routes to control the routing of packets through the ZyWALL's interfaces, trunks,
and send traffic through VPN connections. You also use policy routes for bandwidth
management (out of the ZyWALL), port triggering, and general NAT on the source address.
You have to set up the criteria, next-hops, and NAT settings in other screens first.

Example: You have an FTP server connected to ge4 (in the DMZ zone). You want to limit the
amount of FTP traffic that goes out from the FTP server through your WAN connection.
1 Create an address object for the FTP server (Object > Address).
2 Click Network > Routing > Policy Route to go to the policy route configuration screen.
Add a policy route.
3 Name the policy route.
4 Select the interface that the traffic comes in through (ge4 in this example).
5 Select the FTP server's address as the source address.
6 You don't need to specify the destination address or the schedule.
7 For the service, select FTP.
8 For the Next Hop fields, select Interface as the Type if you have a single WAN
connection or Trunk if you have multiple WAN connections.
9 Select the interface that you are using for your WAN connection (ge2 and ge3 are the
default WAN interfaces). If you have multiple WAN connections, select the trunk.
10 Specify the amount of bandwidth FTP traffic can use. You may also want to set a low
priority for FTP traffic.
The ZyWALL checks the policy routes in the order that they are listed. So
make sure that your custom policy route comes before any other routes that
would also match the FTP traffic.

5.4.11 Static Routes

Use static routes to tell the ZyWALL about networks not directly connected to the ZyWALL.
