Route Advertisement - SonicWALL SonicOS Enhanced 2.2 Administrator's Manual

1. Click Add under the Static Routes table. The Add Static Route window is displayed.
2. Type 10.0.5.0 in the Destination Network field. The Destination Network is the network IP address
of the remote subnet.
3. Type 255.255.255.0 in the Subnet Mask field, which is the subnet mask of the remote network.
4. Type 192.168.168.254 in the Default Gateway field. This is the IP address of the internal (LAN) router
that is local to the SonicWALL.
5. Select LAN from the Interface menu.
6. Click OK.
Note:
You can configure up to 512 routes on the SonicWALL.
Tip!
If the SonicWALL has a NAT Policy on the WAN, the internal (LAN) router needs to have a route of last
resort (i.e. gateway address) that is the SonicWALL LAN IP address.

Route Advertisement

The SonicWALL uses RIPv1 or RIPv2 to advertise its static and dynamic routes to other routers on the
network. Changes in the status of VPN tunnels between the SonicWALL and remote VPN gateways are
also reflected in the RIPv2 advertisements. Choose between RIPv1 or RIPv2 based on your router's
capabilities or configuration. RIPv1 is an earlier version of the protocol that has fewer features, and it also
sends packets via broadcast instead of multicast. RIPv2 packets are backwards-compatible and can be
accepted by some RIPv1 implementations that provide an option of listening for multicast packets. The
RIPv2 Enabled (broadcast) selection broadcasts packets instead of multicasting packets is for
heterogeneous networks with a mixture of RIPv1 and RIPv2 routers.
