Example: You want
packets with the TOS
low latency bit to go
through VC 2 (via gate-
way 127.0.0.3) instead
of your normal gate-
way. You would set up
the filter as shown:
☛
NOTE:
Default Forwarding Filter
If you create one or more filters that have a matching action of forward , then
action on a packet matching none of the filters is to block any traffic.
Therefore, if the behavior you want is to force the routing of a certain type of
packet and pass all others through the normal routing mechanism, you must
configure one filter to match the first type of packet and apply Force Routing. A
subsequent filter is required to match and forward all other packets.
Management IP traffic
If the Force Routing filter is applied to source IP addresses, it may inadvert-
ently block communication with the router itself. You can avoid this by preced-
ing the Force Routing filter with a filter that matches the destination IP
address of the Gateway itself.
