A route is the sequence of devices through which network traffic must go to get from the source to the destination. For a cloud-managed Firebox, you can add a route from the Firebox to another network.
Add a Route
To add a route, from WatchGuard Cloud:
- Select Configure > Devices.

- From the Type drop-down list, select Network IPv4 or Network IPv6.
- In the Network IP Address text box, type the network IPv4 or IPv6 address with slash notation. For more information, see About Slash Notation.
- In the Gateway IP Address text box, type the IP address of the router.
Make sure that you type an IP address on the same network as one of the Firebox networks. - In the Distance text box, enter a value between 1 and 254. Routes with lower metrics have higher priority. The default is 1. In Fireware v12.9 or higher, the Distance setting replaces the Metric setting.
