Gateway IP Address Enter the IP address of the gateway when you configure a static route that

10.3 Policy Routing
Traditionally, routing is based on the destination address only and the Router takes the shortest
path to forward a packet. Policy routing allows the Router to override the default routing behavior
and alter the packet routing based on the policy defined by the network administrator. Policy-based
routing is applied to outgoing packets, prior to the normal routing.
You can use source-based policy routing to direct traffic from different users through different
connections or distribute traffic among multiple paths for load sharing.
