Last adaptation to the version: 12.6.0
New:
- Updated to Redesign of the webinterface
This article refers to a Beta version
Preliminary remark
Port based routes, also called Policy Based Routing or Rule Routing, are routing decisions that use a predefined rule to decide which gateway to forward packets to based on services, destination addresses or source addresses.
notemptyRules with rulerouting are rarely really necessary and should only ever be an exception to enforce deviating routes for certain services from certain sources.
Set up Rule Routing
The configuration is done either under button or by editing an already existing rule by clicking .
In the following example, all VOIP packets from the internal-network are routed via the interface LAN2:
