Configuring Routing
Adding Next-Hop Routers
You may need to define a default route in case the SMC (Management Servers and Log Servers)
and other SMC components are not located on a directly connected network. Other routes may
be needed in addition to the default route if one or more SMC components are not directly
connected and cannot be reached through the default gateway. To add the default route or to
add other routes, you must first add a Router element to represent the gateway devices that
forward packets to the networks.
 To add a router
1. Right-click the Network and select New→Router. The Router Properties dialog opens.
2. Fill in the Name and IP Address for the Router.
Adding the Default Route
 To add the default route
 Right-click the Router and select New→Any Network.
You are not actually creating a new element, just inserting the existing default element Any
Network.
Adding Other Routes
 To add other routes
1. Right-click the Router and select New→Network. The Network Properties dialog opens.
2. Give the network a unique a Name and define the network space.
Repeat these steps to add any additional Networks to the Router element.
The routing configuration changes are transferred to the engine with the other configuration
information when you install a policy on the engine.
