Procedure

Procedure

1

In the navigation pane, click Security Devices.

2

Click the Devices tab to locate the device or the Templates tab to locate the model device.
3

Click the FTD device and select the device on which you want to define static routes.

4

In the Management pane at the right, click Routing.
5

On the Static Routing page, do one of the following:

  • To add a new static route, click the plus button .

  • Click the edit icon for the route you want to edit.

If you no longer need a route, click the trash can icon for the route to delete it.

Configure the route properties

  • Protocol-Select whether the route is for an IPv4 or IPv6 address.

  • Interface-Select the interface through which you want to send traffic. The gateway address needs to be accessible through this interface.

  • Gateway-Select the network object that identifies the IP address for the gateway to the destination network. Traffic is sent to this address.

  • Metric-The administrative distance for the route, between 1 and 254. The default is for static routes is 1. If there are additional routers between the interface and the gateway, enter the number of hops as the administrative distance.

    Administrative distance is a parameter used to compare routes. The lower the number, the higher precedence the route is given. Connected routes (networks directly connected to an interface on the device) always take precedence over static routes.

  • Destination Network-Select the network object(s), that identifies the destination network, that contains the host(s), that uses the gateway in this route.

    To define a default route, use the pre-defined any-ipv4 or any-ipv6 network objects, or create an object for the 0.0.0.0/0 (IPv4) or ::/0 (IPv6) network.
