Introduction
A route describes the path that a packet takes to get from its source to the desired destination.
Default-Route
It describes the path if no other route is found for the packet sent out.
| Adding a new default route: Tab Routing Button |
 | ||
| In the Add Default Route dialog, one of the two options is selected | |||
| Caption | Value | Description |  |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gateway-IP: | The IP address of the gateway | ||
| Gateway interface: | The interface of the gateway | ||
| IPv6: | Off | When enabled On IPv6 is used | |
Click to apply this setting. | |||
| The newly created default route is then displayed in this list. Under Gateway either the entered IP address, or the selected interface is displayed. The default destination is always 0.0.0.0/0, the weighting by default 0.Edit Opens the dialog to edit the route For a default route, only change the weighting.

Route
The path of a packet can be precisely defined via a route. This allows two different interfaces to communicate with each other.
| To add a new route, click on the Tab Routing button under . |  | ||
| In the new window Add route the following settings are made. | |||
| Caption | Value | Description |  |
|---|---|---|---|
| Source network: | 192.168.175.0/24 | Optional The IP address of the source | |
| Gateway interface: | LAN1 | The interface of the gateway | |
| Target network: | 0.0.0.0/0 | The IP address of the destination | |
| Weighting: | 0 |
Priority of use of this route | |
| Click to apply this setting. | |||
| In the example route created above, all clients from the source network 192.168.175.0/24 are routed to the destination 0.0.0.0/0, i.e. the Internet, via the gateway interface LAN1. | |||
| In the following lower routes, all clients from the source network 192.168.176.0/24 are routed to the destination 0.0.0.0/0 via the gateway IP 44.231.66.94. | |||
| Source network: | 192.168.176.0/24 | Optional The IP address of the source |  |
| Gateway-IP: | The IP address of the gateway | ||

| The newly created route is then displayed in this list. The Source of this route, as the Gateway, either the entered IP address, or the selected interface is displayed. As destination the IP address of the route destination and as weighting the route priority. Edit Opens the dialog to edit the route Delete Opens the dialog to delete the route |

Route Hint
A Route Hint simplifies the configuration of routes and is even necessary for some configurations. A route is created by selecting the desired gateway interface and entering the destination network. The source network remains free. Any further route that has this gateway interface will always be routed to the set destination network, using its gateway IP address.
