Chapter 7 Advanced Setup
This chapter describes how to configure and use the Device advanced features, which
include static route, policy-based routing, DNS redirection, Plug and Play, SNMP,
SYSLOG, DDNS, and switch, and so on.
7.1 Static Route
This section describes the Advanced > Static Route page.
In this page, you can configure not only static routes, but also static route PDBs (PDB:
Policy Database). Using static route PDBs, you can create a large batch of static routes at
a time, thus the traffic destined for one ISP¶s servers will be forwarded through this ISP¶s
connection, but not another ISP¶s connection.
The following describes how to configure and user static route and static route PDB.
7.1.1 Static Route
7.1.1.1 Introduction to Static Route
A static route is manually configured by the network administrator, which is stored in a
routing table. By using routing table, the Device can select an optimal transmission path
for each received packet, and forward the packet to the destination site effectively. The
proper usage of static routes can not only improve the network performance, but also
achieve other benefits, such as traffic control, provide a secure network environment.
The disadvantage of using static routes is that they cannot dynamically adapt to the
current operational state of the network. When there is a change in the network or a failure
occurs, some static routes will be unreachable. In this case, the network administrator
should update the static routes manually.
7.1.1.2 System Reserved Static Routes
In the system, there are two types of reserved static routes: default route and detection
