Overview

Static routing helps to define explicit paths between two routers and is not updated automatically. You must manually reconfigure the static route whenever network changes occur.

The Static Route feature on Seqrite UTM allows you to configure a route using which Seqrite UTM can use to forward the packets to a particular destination. A static route causes packets to be forwarded to a destination using a gateway other than the configured default gateway. Using Seqrite UTM, you can add or delete the routes. If you set the route to OFF, then that static route is currently removed from the device’s routing tables.
