CHAPTER 7
Route
This chapter shows you how to configure policies for IP routing and static routes on your
ZyWALL.
7.1 Policy Route
Traditionally, routing is based on the destination address only and the ZyWALL takes the
shortest path to forward a packet. IP Policy Routing (IPPR) provides a mechanism to override
the default routing behavior and alter the packet forwarding based on the policy defined by the
network administrator. Policy-based routing is applied to incoming packets on a per interface
basis, prior to the normal routing.
7.2 Policy Route Commands
The following table identifies the values required for many of these commands. Other input
values are discussed with the corresponding commands.

VLAN interface: vlanx, x = 0 - 15
virtual interface on top of VLAN interface: vlanx:y, x = 0 - 15, y = 1 - 12
bridge interface: brx, x = 0 - 11
virtual interface on top of bridge interface: brx:y, x = 0 - 11, y = 1 - 12
PPPoE/PPTP interface: pppx, x = 0 - 11
schedule_object The name of the schedule. You may use 1-31 alphanumeric characters,
