Deployment: Static Routes

Static routes allow IWSVA to overcome problems routing traffic to and from network segments beyond the next router hop to which IWSVA connects. Static routes allow you to manually control the router connection used to send traffic to the Internet or back to the end users.

For example, if IWSVA updates patterns with an internal ActiveUpdate (AU) server through a different router, a static route should be added for AU server.

• Note: If you bind a static route to an interface, the router port must be in the same network segment as the interface.

Before starting this procedure, be sure you have:

• Selected your deployment mode

• Configured any mode-specific settings

• Configured the network interface information
