11.1 Routes
Default Route
With a default route, all data is automatically forwarded to one connection if no other suit-
able route is available. If you set up access to the Internet, you must configure the route to
your Internet Service Provider (ISP) as a default route. If, for example, you configure a cor-
porate network connection, only enter the route to the head office or branch office as a de-
fault route if you do not configure Internet access over your device. If, for example, you
configure both Internet access and a corporate network connection, enter a default route to
the ISP and a network route to the head office. You can enter several default routes on
your device, but only one default route can be active at any one time. If you enter several
default routes, you should thus note differing values for Metric.
