Chapter 5: Using Policy Manager to Configure Your NetworkConfiguring RoutesA route is the sequence of devices that network traffic takesfrom its source to its destination. A router is a devicewithin a route that determines the next point to which trafficshould be forwarded toward its destination. Each routeris connected to at least two networks. A packet may travelthrough a number of network points with routers beforearriving at its destination.The Firebox supports the creation of static routes in orderto pass traffic from any of its three interfaces to a router.The router can then pass traffic to the appropriate destinationaccording to its specific routing policies.For more information on routing issues, see the followingFAQ:http://support.watchguard.com/advancedfaqs/general_routers.aspThe WatchGuard user’s forum is also a good source ofinformation on routing information.
