Configuring static routes
The
System
> Network
> Routing
tab displays a list of routes and lets you configure static
routes and gateways used by the FortiVoice unit.
Static routes direct traffic exiting the FortiVoice unit. You can specify through which network
interface a packet will leave, and the IP address of a next-hop router that is reachable from that
network interface. The router is aware of which IP addresses are reachable through various
network pathways, and can forward those packets along pathways capable of reaching the
packets’ ultimate destinations.
A default route is a special type of static route. A default route matches all packets, and defines
a gateway router that can receive and route packets if no other, more specific static route is
defined for the packet’s destination IP address.
You should configure at least one static route, a default route, that points to your gateway.
However, you may configure multiple static routes if you have multiple gateway routers, each of
which should receive packets destined for a different subset of IP addresses.
To determine which route a packet will be subject to, the FortiVoice unit compares the packet’s
destination IP address to those of the static routes and forwards the packet to the route with the
large prefix match.
When you add a static route through the web-based manager, the FortiVoice unit evaluates the
route to determine if it represents a different route compared to any other route already present
in the list of static routes. If no route having the same destination exists in the list of static
routes, the FortiVoice unit adds the static route.

status
Select either:
•
Up
: Enable (that is, bring up) the network interface so that it can
send and receive traffic.
•
Down
: Disable (that is, bring down) the network interface so that
it cannot send or receive traffic.
GUI field
Description
Destination
IP/Netmask
Displays the destination IP address and subnet of packets subject to
the static route. A setting of 0.0.0.0/0.0.0 indicates that the route
matches all destination IP addresses.
Interface
