Routes
Proper routing will ensure that traffic flows from clients to the appliance and back. The routing table
in the appliance shows the networks that are connected as well as networks the appliance has been
told about or have been learned dynamically. If traffic is destined for a remote network but the
appliance cannot find a specific route matching the destination network, it will revert to sending the
traffic to its default gateway. This is why some traffic does not get sent or received as expected.
NOTE: The appliance is specially designed for managing and providing access to device management
consoles. It is not supported as a general purpose router, switch or packet filter.
Static routes to specific network destinations can improve the accuracy of the decisions made by
the appliance about which interface to use when sending traffic.
NOTE: It is important to ensure there is never a duplicated network address assigned to more than one
interface within the appliance. It is also important to change the default private network addresses within the
appliance if they conflict with networks already present within your infrastructure.
