VSX Gateway - Topology
The Topology page contains definitions for interfaces and routes between interfaces and virtual devices.
Interfaces
The Interfaces section defines interfaces and links to devices. You can add new interfaces as well as delete
and modify existing interfaces.
To add an interface, click Add. The Interface Properties window opens. Select an interface from the list
and define the appropriate properties ("Modifying an Interface Definition" on page 63).
Routes
The Routes section defines routes between network devices, network addresses, and virtual devices. Some
routes are defined automatically based on the interface definitions. You can add new routes as well as
delete and modify existing routes.
To add a default route to the routing table, click Add Default Routes and either enter the default route IP
address or select the default Virtual Router. The Route Configuration window opens. Click Help for details
regarding the various properties and options.
Calculating topology automatically based on routing information
Enable this option to allow VSX to automatically calculate the network topology based on interface and
routing definitions (enabled by default). VSX creates automatic links, or connectivity cloud objects linked to
existing internal or external networks.
This option is not available in the Bridge Mode.
When employing dynamic routing, it is recommended to disable this option.
