Configuring static routes on the Velocity physical appliance

Velocity Help

You can configure static routes on the appliance to communicate with remote networks or hosts if the default route is not suitable. You can also use static routes to filter traffic to specific network interfaces, or to create a backup routing configuration in case the default gateway fails.

For more information about static routes, refer to the following documentation:

https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Deployment_Guide/sec-Configuring_Static_Routes_in_ifcfg_files.html

To add a static route

Log on to the Velocity shell menu.
From the Main_Menu > Network view, type the following command:

Gateway Add <GatewayIPAddress> <TargetNetworkIPAddress> <Netmask> <InterfaceName>
- <GatewayIPAddress> - The IP address leading to the remote network (generally a gateway or router).
- <TargetNetworkIPAddress> - The IP address of the destination network or host.
- <Netmask> - The subnet mask that corresponds to the address that you specified for <TargetNetworkIPAddress>.
- <InterfaceName> - The name of the network interface that you want the traffic to exit from.
For example:
```
Gateway Add 192.168.1.1 10.10.0.0 255.255.248.0 bond0
```
