IP Routing Configuration
Routing
is used to relay information across the Internet from a source to a destination. Along the way, at least one intermediate node is typically
encountered. Routing is different than bridging. The main difference between bridging and routing is that bridging operates at the OSI Data Link Layer
(Level Two Media Access Control Layer) and routing operates at OSI Network Layer (Level Three).
QX gateway’s
IP Routing
service allows you to route IP packets from one destination to another (or to a specified router) through QX gateway or a QX
gateway VPN.
The
IP Routing
page is used to make IP Static, IP Policy and PPTP/L2TP routes for IP packets routing. This page consists of three tables. Entries in the
tables are color coded according to the state of the route. For example, yellow indicates disabled routes, green indicates successful routes and red
indicates routes with an error.
IP Static Routes
IP Static Routes
are used to forward IP packets from the Network,
where the QX IP PBX is connected, to the specified destination.
The
IP Static Routes
table displays all established IP static routes
with their parameters:
Target State
for the state of the route
(enabled or disabled),
Actual State
for the state of the route
connection (up, down or erroneous),
Route To
for the subnet where
the incoming packets should be routed to and
Via IP Address
for the
router IP address where incoming packets should be routed through.
Add
opens the
Add IP Static Route
page where a new static route
can be established.
Enable/Disable
is used to activate and deactivate a selected
route(s). At least one route should be selected in order to use these
functions, otherwise the following error message will appear: “No
record(s) selected.”
Fig.II- 122: IP Static Routes table
The
Add IP Static Route
page offers the following components:
Route To
requires the IP address and subnet mask for the
destination the IP packet should be forwarded to.
Via IP Address
requires the IP address of the subsequent router for
IP packet forwarding to the specified destination.
Attention:
The rule with the longest subnet (smallest IP range) will
take effect when having two or more IP Static routing rules with the
coinciding subnets.

IP Policy Routes
IP Policy Routes
allow IP packets forwarding to the specified router depending on the source IP address as well as defining the priority for the current
routing rule.
The
IP Policy Routes
table displays all specified IP policy routes
with their parameters:
Target State
for the state of the route
(enabled or disabled),
Actual State
for the state of the route
connection (up, down or erroneous),
Priority
for the route priority,
Route From
is where the subnet, routed packets come from and
Via
IP Address
is where the router IP address incoming packets should
be routed through.
Add
opens the
Add IP Policy Route
page to establish a new policy
route.
Enable
and
Disable
are used to activate or to deactivate the selected
route(s).
Fig.II- 124: IP Policy Routes table
Raise
Priority
and
Lower Priority
are used to increase or decrease the priority of the selected policy route(s) by one. At least one route should be
selected to use these functions, otherwise the error message “No record(s) selected” will appear.
