Editing Source Based Routing

Use the Source Interface step of the Edit <Service> wizard to modify SBR (Source-Based Routing) to direct service traffic to a specific destination according to the source IP address or a combination of the source and destination IP addresses. Rules that define SBR take precedence over ordinary destination-based routing rules.

To modify source-based routing, update the following field:

• SOURCE INTERFACE: This section displays information about the network interface of your NIOS-X servers:

  • NIOS-X server NAME: Modify the NIOS-X server’s name. The name must not exceed 64 characters. Use numbers, any special characters, uppercase and lowercase letters, and even spaces. Start and end a name with any character other than a space. Leading and trailing spaces will be trimmed off automatically.

  • NETWORK INTERFACE: Use the drop-down list to modify the interface on which you want to configure the source.

  • IP ADDRESS: Modify the IP address of the source network interface.

• DESTINATION: Click Add to add the destination to which you want to route the source traffic.

  • CIDR: Enter the CIDR for the destination.

  • PORT: Enter the port used for the destination.

  • PROTOCOL: Choose either TCP or UDP to use as the routing protocol.
