Configuring a static route

Last Updated : Dec 21, 2012 |

When you configure split tunneling routes on the AVG, the IP Office system learns the routing information for the tunnel dynamically when the SSL VPN service connects with the AVG. However, you also have the option to configure a static route. This section provides information to help you determine whether to configure a static route, and provides a procedure for configuring one.

When you configure a static route, the system uses the IP route information configured in Manager to determine the destination for forwarded traffic. You can define the SSL VPN service as the destination.

Use a static route when:

  • split tunneling routes are not advertised by the AVG and you need to send traffic through the tunnel

  • the SSL VPN service is not connected to the AVG and you want to queue traffic to be forwarded through the tunnel when the connection is restored

Before you begin

Before you begin, you must have the following information:

  • the address of the remote subnet; this is the subnet located in the private network where the AVG is installed

  • the subnet mask applied to the subnet address

  • the SSL VPN service name that you want to use to send traffic to this remote subnet

Procedure

  1. In the navigation list, select IP Route.
  2. Right-click and select New.
  3. In the IP Address field, enter the address of the remote subnet located on the site where the AVG is installed.
  4. In the Subnet mask field, enter the subnet mask applied to the remote subnet.
  5. In the Gateway IP Address field, ensure that the gateway IP address is set to 0.0.0.0.
  6. From the Destination list, select the name of the SSL VPN service.
