Routing rules

Note: See the Networking section in the User manual of your router for further information on this subject.

Routing rules consist of a set of criteria determining the path that data packets take from the source to destination across one or more networks. Routing rules are a fundamental aspect of networking, playing a crucial role in determining how data is transmitted between devices on a network.

Once a remote VPN connection is established, the devices connected to LAN 1 become immediately reachable. Instead, the devices connected to LAN 2 are accessible only upon routing rule configuration through UBIQUITY Manager.

Configuration

To create, modify and cancel static routing rules through UBIQUITY Manager, access Explorer > Domain view and select a device on the left pane. Then, select Routing rules on the right pane and click on the circled plus button.

The Create routing rule window shows up. It includes three fields:

  1. Subnet IP: The subnet that you wish to reach.
  2. Subnet Mask: The mask of the subnet that you wish to reach.
  3. Gateway IP: The gateway to which any requests to access a specific subnet are forwarded.

You can associate a number of routing rules to a device.

Routing Rules are visible only if applied to a device to which the user is connected, and if a VPN connection is established.

Routing rules are visible in the Interactive Access > Connection other than in the Routing rules section of the right pane of the UBIQUITY Manager.

In the example shown, one static routing rules has been applied.

Note: When a VPN connection is no longer active, the added routing rules are automatically deleted.

Example

To allow the computer that provides remote assistance through UBIQUITY Manager to reach endpoints 4, 5 or 6, configure a routing rule as follows:
  • Subnet IP: 10.65.0.0
  • Subnet Mask: 255.255.0.0
  • Gateway IP: 192.168.11.113
