Virtual System - Topology
The Topology page contains definitions for Virtual System interfaces, routes and Warp links. Based on
these interface settings, VSX automatically creates routes to Virtual Devices and the VSX gateway.
Note - If you modify the topology for a specific Virtual System in a
cluster environment, the cluster topology is not updated until you
install a policy on that Virtual System.
 Interfaces: The Interfaces table 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 the interface from the
list and define the appropriate properties. The Modifying an Interface Definition section ("Modifying an
Interface Definition" on page 63) and the online help provides explanations of the various properties and
options.
 Routes: To add a default route to the Routes table, click Add Default Routes and either enter an IP
address or select a Virtual Router. The Route Configuration window opens. Click Help for details
regarding the various properties and options.
 Calculate 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.
 When this option is enabled, you cannot configure the topology using Topology tab in the Interface
Properties window. These options are unavailable on the tab.
 This option is not available in the Bridge Mode.
 When employing dynamic routing, it is recommended to disable this option.
