A route is a static route that can be defined in the system.

You can **Enable** or disable a route.
It will be automatically added and removed, according to the settings.
This will be done on each route check.

You have to define a **Destination** which is a Network the route is pointing to.
You can either have a **Gateway**, **Interface** or **Multipath** route.

**Metric** a route can have a metric. You can create multiple routes with the same destination as long
as they have different metrics.
A metric is like a priority for the route, the lowest metric route is always active in the system.

**Source** in the Advanced Settings you can choose to set a route source.
This might be useful if the firewall itself needs to use the route and it has multiple IPs on the Interface the route is defined on.

**Routing Table** in the Advanced Settings you can select one or multiple routing tables.
By default, each new route is automatically assigned the *Main* routing table (ID: 254).

**Gateway Status** Remove the route when the gateway status changes to down and add it when it changes to up.
It is enabled by default. Disabling the option keeps the route even if the gateway is down from the monitoring check.

To change the routing tables see the documentation at :ref:`Routing Tables`.

Gateway Route
***************

Choose a Gateway that was previously created under :ref:`Gateway` or create a Gateway with the **ADD** button.
The route will use the IP Address in the Gateway as destination.
This is usually another Router.

Interface Route
****************

Choose an Interface for the route.
The route will be defined on that Interface.
Please be aware that any Client in the destination network must be in the same L2 Network to be reachable.

Multipath Route
****************

Choose multiple Gateways and their metric to be used by the route.
The Gateway check will be taken into account if the Gateway is up or down.

To change your BGP setup please go to **Routing → BGP** and refer to the documentation at :ref:`BGP Settings`.
