Routing - D-Link DFL-1100 User Manual

Routing

Click on System in the menu bar, and then click Routing, this will give a list of all configured
routes, it will look something like this:
The Routing configuration section shows the firewall's routing table. DFL-1100 has an easy to
use interface.
Interface – Specifies the interface through which packets will be sent.
Network – Specifies the network address for this route.
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.
Local IP Address – 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 firewalls own interface IP address will be used.
Proxy ARP – Specifies that the firewall shall publish this route via Proxy ARP.
One advantage with this form of notation is that you can specify a gateway for a particular
route, without having a route that covers the gateway's IP address or despite the fact that
the route that covers the gateway's IP address is normally routed via another interface.
The difference between this form of notation and that most commonly used is that you do
not specify the interface name in a separate column. Instead, you specify the IP address
of each interface as a gateway.
Note: The firewall does not create Proxy ARP routes on VPN interfaces.
