The following table describes the labels in this screen.

19.5 Policy Route Edit

Click ADVANCED > POLICY ROUTE to open the Policy Route Summary screen. Then
click

the edit icon to open the Edit IP Policy Route screen. WAN 2 refers to the 3G card on

the supported ZyWALL in router mode.
Use this screen to configure a policy route to override the default (shortest path) routing
behavior and forward packets based on the criteria you specify. A policy route defines the
matching criteria and the action to take when a packet meets the criteria. The action is taken
only when all the criteria are met. Policy-based routing is applied to incoming packets on a per
interface basis before normal routing. The ZyWALL does not perform normal routing on
packets that match any of the policy routes.
