Routes¶

Routes specify public IP subnets handled by the customer’s firewall. For example, if the customer needed public IP addresses for up to 14 hosts behind their firewall, you might provide a /30 connected IP for connectivity between the bonder and the customer’s router and then add a route to send a /28 subnet to customer’s router.

For example, you could configure a connected IP 203.1.113.1/30 and give 203.1.113.2 to the customer’s firewall. Then you could create a route 203.1.113.16/28 that sends that subnet to the customer’s firewall via its 203.1.113.2. address.

Adding, editing, & deleting routes¶

Routes are displayed in a table on the bond details page.

To add a route, click the node-object-add button to the upper-left of the routes table. This will open the “add route” modal.

To edit a route, click the node-object-edit button on the route action toolbar. This will open the “edit route” modal.

To delete a route, click the node-object-delete button on the route action toolbar. This will ask for confirmation, and is permanent.

Configuring Routes¶

Network¶

The network address to route. Routes can be either public or private. Public routes must be within a network allocated to the bond’s space. Private routes do not need an allocation.

Gateway¶

The IP address of the customer’s router. It must be in the network of one of the bond’s connected IPs.

Interface¶

The interface on the bonder where the customer’s network is connected.

Defaults to ‘Auto’ which attempts to pick the correct interface based on the gateway IP and existing connected IP networks.

Enabled¶

When checked, loads the route on the bonder and aggregator.

Include in private WAN¶

When the private WAN (PWAN) option of the bond’s space is enabled, this option controls whether or not traffic from this route is included in the PWAN routing. If enabled, traffic is sent to and received from the PWAN space. If disabled, traffic is not sent to the PWAN space, but is routed directly to the partner’s core network as if the bond’s space did not use PWAN.

This option has no effect when the bond is in a space with PWAN disabled.

Disabled by default.

Note

The default setting for this option has changed from enabled to disabled as of version 6.4.

Aggregator routing¶

This option allows the aggregator’s routing mode to be overridden. The options are:

Automatic (default): When the network is public, a route is created from the aggregator to the bonder. When it is private, no route is created.
Always: A route for the network is created on the aggregator, even if the network is private.
Never: A route for the network is never created, even if the network is public.
