Routing
if there is more than one router and subnet, enable the routing function to allow packets to find proper routing
paths and allow different subnets to communicate with each other.

interface addresses are being utilized for outgoing data. For each rule, enter the destination IP address, subnet
mask, gateway, and hop. Check
