Routes Configuration

Static routes may need to be defined when access to external networks cannot be reached via the default gateway. This may be necessary so the appliance can connect to services such as DNS or NTP.

Routing table entries are shown for IPv4 and IPv6 networks. The destination, gateway, interface, source and state is shown for each route. Routing table entries can have multiple sources:

static

A manually configured route.

interface

Derived from the addresses assigned to an interface.

SLAAC

Assigned from SLAAC autoconfiguration.

DHCP

Assigned from DHCP autoconfiguration.

Destination

The IPv4 or IPv6 address and netmask of the destination

Gateway (Next Hop)

The IPv4 or IPv6  address of the gateway (next hop).
