Routing with
Dual Interfaces
Because the SA8220 has two network interfaces, it can act as a router
in some contexts. This means that it can route between two subnets.
To do this, you must designate the SA8220 as the default gateway for
your fulfillment servers. Routes to the inside subnet are not
advertised to the outside router, but host routes are advertised to the
VIPs. Packets destined for defined VIPs are always routed through
the SA8220 to the server-side subnet. Other packets are forwarded
through the SA8220 only when the security mode is set to OPEN or
when set to CUSTOM and IP Forwarding is turned on. The SA8220’s
routing capabilities vary depending on which routing and failover
methods are used. For more details about these variations and their
relationships to routing and failover configurations, please see
“Failover Method Dependencies” in Appendix C.
NOTE: The SA8220
cannot route multiple
subnets on one interface.
Terms pertinent to SA8220 routing are listed below.
The figure below shows an example of the SA8220 routing topology.
