Defining a router
Routers do not manage virtual servers, rather they manage the links to the
Internet for your network. Before you define a router in the 3-DNS
configuration, you should have the following information:
• The name of the router
• The IP address of the router (this is the gateway IP address)
• The IP addresses of the links that the router manages
Note
If you have a Link Controller or BIG-IP system in your network, the
auto-configuration process adds the routers to the configuration for you.
Note, however, that for BIG-IP systems, auto-configuration adds only one
router per data center. Use the following procedure only if you have
auto-configuration turned off.
To define a router using the Configuration utility
1. In the navigation pane, expand the Servers item, then click
Routers.
2. On the toolbar, click Add Router.
The Add New Router screen opens.
