Using Static Routes

A static route is a setting that explicitly specifies the route to use for packets, according to
one of the following criteria:
•
The packet's source IP address and/or destination IP address
•
The network service used to send the packet
Packets that match the criteria for a specific static route are sent to the route's defined
destination, or next hop, which can be a specific gateway's IP address or an Internet
connection. Specifying an Internet connection as the static route's next hop is useful in
cases where the ISP's default gateway IP address is dynamically assigned to the gateway,
as this approach allows you to route traffic to the Internet connection by specifying its
name, instead of a static IP address.
Note: If the static route's next hop is an Internet connection that is currently
unavailable, the UTM-1 appliance sends matching traffic through the static route
with the next-lowest metric.
