Creating a static route

You can create new static routes that will let you forward network traffic as required by the infrastructure of your organization.

Kaspersky IoT Secure Gateway 1000 does not let you create duplicate default routes (second route for the IP address of the destination network 0.0.0.0/0) and routes in which an IP address in the network 127.0.0.0/8 is indicated as the IP address of the destination node.

When creating overlapping routes, you are advised to keep in mind that the route with the longer mask describing a smaller number of destination nodes will be selected to send a network packet to the IP address of the destination node or network.

To create a new static route:

1. In the menu in the left part of the web interface page, select the Network section.
2. Select the Routing tab.

   The lower part of the opened window contains the routing table of Kaspersky IoT Secure Gateway 1000.

3. Click the Add route button.
4. In the opened Add route window, enter the following data:
   • In the IP address field, enter the IP address of the destination node or network.
   • In the Mask field, enter the destination network mask.
   • In the Gateway field, enter the IP address of the gateway. The gateway IP address must be reachable.

     The gateway IP address is reachable if this IP address resides within a connected network and is one of the nodes of a network configured on the internal or external interface.

5. Click Save in the lower part of the window to save the changes.

The new static route is created and displayed in the routing table.
