Network configuration
IP routes
Interface: The port through which traffic is routed. When you add a route, the service
controller automatically determines the interface to be used based on the Gateway
address.
Destination: Traffic addressed to this IP address is routed.
Mask: Number of bits in the destination address that are checked for a match.
Gateway: IP address of the gateway to which the service controller forwards routed
traffic (known as the next hop).
An asterisk is used by system routes to indicate a directly connected network.
Routes cannot be manually specified for IPSec. These routes are automatically added by
the system based on the settings for the IPSec security association.
Metric: Priority of a route. If two routes exist for a destination address, the service
controller chooses the one with the lower metric.
Default routes
The Default routes table shows all default routes on the service controller. Default routes
are used when traffic does not match any route in the Active routes table. You can add routes
by specifying the appropriate parameters and then selecting Add.
The routing table is dynamic and is updated as needed. If more than one default route exists,
the first route in the table is used.
The following information is shown for each default route:
Interface: The port through which traffic is routed. When you add a route, the service
controller automatically determines the interface to be used based on the Gateway
address.
Gateway: IP address of the gateway to which the service controller forwards routed
traffic (known as the next hop).

Metric: Priority of a route. If two routes exist for a destination address, the service
controller chooses the one with the lower metric.
Persistent routes
Persistent routes are automatically deleted and then restored each time the interface they are
associated with is closed and opened. When the routes are active, they also appear in the
Active routes table.
PPTP client
The service controller provides an Auto-route discovery option to enable it to
automatically discover and add routes for IP addresses on the other side of a Point-to-Point
Tunnelling Protocol (PPTP) tunnel. The addresses must be part of the remote domain as
specified on the Service Controller >> VPN > PPTP client page. Routes are added only
when an attempt is made to access the target addresses.
