Static Routes Configuration

Static routes for outgoing traffic can be configured here.
This allows routes for individual network interfaces to be defined directly in the Webconf user interface. That way, it is possible to establish connections to external systems, such as HSMs connected via the network, that are not accessible through the default gateway.
This feature improves flexibility in complex network environments and ensures secure connectivity to external resources.
If not specified otherwise, outgoing traffic is routed through the default interface.

1. Log in to your Next Generation Hardware Appliance.

2. Open the Network page.

3. In the Outgoing Static Routes section, click Add Route to open the corresponding form.

4. In the Add Outgoing Route form:

   • Network Interface this entry is automatically set

   • Name of Outgoing Route:
     Enter a descriptive name for the outgoing route to indicate its purpose and destination.

   • IP Address: This entry is required.
     Defining IPv4 and/or IPv6 routes.
     Specify the IP address range for the custom route to be added to the selected interface.

   • Prefix: This entry is required.
     Specify the Prefix for the custom route to be added to the selected interface.
     Use the arrows to the right of the input field or enter the value manually.

   • Gateway IP:
     Optionally, enter the IP address of the gateway to be used for the custom route here.

5. Click Save to confirm the settings or Cancel to close the form without saving.

6. Only valid IPv4 and IPv6 addresses or prefixes can be saved.
   Invalid entries will result in an error message.
   When saved a modal dialog confirms: Static routes set successfully.
   The newly added static route is now listed in the table in the Outgoing Static Routes section.

7. In the last column of the table, Actions, is possible to Delete the configuration.
   If this option is selected, a modal dialog will appear asking to verify this action.
   Click Remove to confirm.

8. If needed, additional outgoing routes can be configured.
