Complete the following to configure a route policy:

  1. Log into NetCloud Manager.

  2. Select Devices in the left-side navigation panel.

  3. Select a router from the Routers page. Alternatively, to make configuration changes to a group, navigate to the Groups page and select a group.

  4. Select Configuration and then Edit.

  5. Navigate to NETWORKING > Routing > Static and Policy Routing.

  6. Under Route Policies, select Add.

  7. From the Route Policy Editor dialog, configure the policy:

    • Type – Select the type of policy. Use Disabled to ignore this policy, or specify the IP protocol version that this policy will match, or select Service for a policy to be handled by another service.

      A service policy may be used by a router service (such as NEMO) to prioritize automatically created policies. To assign a service policy to a service, the route table created for that service must also be selected below. A service policy not needed by or not assigned to an operating service will be ignored.

    • Source IP/Network Address – Select the source IP network upon which this policy will match. Leave blank to match on any.

    • Destination IP/Network Address – Select the destination IP network upon which this policy will match. Leave blank to match on any.

    • Incoming Device – Select the incoming device upon which this policy will match. Leave blank to match on any. 'lo' is a special device that matches all local (router-originated) traffic, including Network Time Protocol, Syslog, TACACS, NetCloud, and updates. 'lo:nc' matches just the subset of local traffic for NetCloud. 'lo:updates' matches just the subset of local traffic for updates downloaded directly from content delivery networks such as modem and router firmware and IPS signatures. 'lo:security' matches a subset of local traffic used for security services such as Webroot. To route local traffic differently than either subset, policy for the subset(s) should be configured with a higher priority than the more general local source.

    • Table – Select the route table to use for routing when this policy is matched.

  8. Select Save.
