Static routes control how traffic moves between endpoints connected to the network. Defining a static route provides Deep Edge with the information to forward a packet to a particular destination. Configure static routes by defining the destination IP address and netmask of packets that the Deep Edge appliance is intended to intercept, and by specifying a gateway IP address for those packets. The gateway address specifies the next-hop router to which traffic will be routed.

You can specify through which interface packets leave and to which device to route packets. The Static Route list at Network → Routing → Static Routes displays information that the Deep Edge appliance compares to packet headers in order to route packets.
