Profile Overrides - IPv4 Routing

Routing is the process of selecting IP paths to send access point managed network traffic. Use the Routing screen to set destination IP and gateway addresses enabling assignment of static IP addresses for requesting clients without creating numerous host pools with manual bindings. This eliminates the need for a long configuration file and reduces the resource space required to maintain address pools.

Both IPv4 and IPv6 routes are separately configurable using their appropriate tabs. For IPv6 networks, routing is the part of IPv6 that provides forwarding between hosts located on separate segments within a larger IPv6 network where IPv6 routers provide packet forwarding for other IPv6 hosts.

To override the access point profile's static routes:

Go to Configuration → Devices → Device Overrides.

The Device Overrides screen displays. This screen lists devices within the managed network.
Select an access point.

The selected access point's configuration menu displays.
Expand Profile Overrides → Network and select Routing.

The IPv4 Routing configuration screen displays.

Profile Overrides - IPv4 Routing Configuration Screen
Select IP Routing to enable static routes using IPv4 addresses. This option is enabled by default.
In the Policy Based Routing field, use the Policy Based Routing drop-down menu to apply a policy. Select the Create icon to create a policy based route or select the Edit icon to edit an existing policy after selecting it in the drop-down list. For more information on creating a Policy Based Routing Policy, see Policy Based Routing (PBR).

in the Statis Routes table, click Add Row + and provide the following statis route details:

Network Address	Add network IP addresses and network masks
Gateway	Provide the Gateway's IP address. This is the gateway used to route traffic to the specified network.
Default Gateway	Provide the Default Gateway's IP address. This is the gateway used to route traffic to the specified network.

In the Default Route Priority field, and set the following parameters:

Static Default Route Priority	Use the spinner control to set the priority value (1 - 8,000) for the default static route. This is weight assigned to this route versus others that have been defined. The default setting is 100.
DHCP Client Default Route Priority	Use the spinner control to set the priority value (1 - 8,000) for the default route learnt from the DHCP client. The default setting is 1000.
Enable Routing Failure	When selected, all default gateways are monitored for activity. The system will failover to a live gateway if the current gateway becomes unusable. This feature is enabled by default.

Select the OK button to save the IPv4 routing configuration changes.

Select Reset to revert to the last saved configuration.
