Add
an
Interface
to specify the outgoing interface for packets to use to go to the next hop.
Use this for stricter control of which interface the firewall uses rather than the interface in the route table for the next hop of this route.
Edit

Add Static Route
to specify the next hop.
Configure the static route.
Enter a
Name
for the static route.
For the
Destination
, enter the IP address for the route destination.
For the
Next Hop
, select one of the following.
Discard
(default)—Select to drop packets that are addressed to the destination.
IP Address
—Enter the IP address when you want to route to a specific next hop.
(
IP Address Next Hop only
) Configure the next hop
IP Address
.
(
IP Address Next Hop only
) Select the outgoing
Interface
for packets to use to go to the next hop.
Use this for stricter control over which interface the managed firewall uses rather than the interface in the route table for the next hop in the route.
Enter an
Admin Distance
for the route to override the default administrative distance set for static routes for the logical router.
Range is
10
to
240
; default is
10
.
Enter a
Metric
for the route.
Range is
1
to
65,535
; default is

(
Optional
) Select the
BFD Profile
so that the static route so that if the static route fails, the firewall removes the route from the RIB and FIB and uses an alternative route.
Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) profiles allow you to apply BFD settings to a static route or routing protocol. Default is
None (Disable BFD)
.
(
Optional
)
Enable Path Monitoring
.
Select the
Rule Type
to specify whether
Any
or
All
of the monitored destinations for the static route must be unreachable by ICMP for the firewall to remove the static route from the RIB and FIB and add the static route that has the next lowest metric going to the same destination to the FIB.
Select
All
to avoid the possibility of any single monitored signaling a route failure when the destination is simple offline for maintenance, for example.
Specify the
Preemptive Hold Time (min)
to determine the number of minutes a downed path monitor must remain in
Up
state before the firewall reinstalls the static route into the RIB.
The path monitor evaluates all of its monitored destinations for the static route and comes up based on the
Any
or
All
failure condition. If a link goes down or flaps during the hold time, when the link comes back up, the path monitor can come back up; the timer restarts when the path monitor returns to
Up
state.
A
Preemptive Hold Time
of zero (
0
) causes the firewall to reinstall the route into the RIB immediately upon the path monitoring coming up. Range is
0
to
1440
; default is
2
.
