“Static routes” tab

The default router is generally the equipment which allows your network to access the Internet. The Stormshield Network Firewall sends all packets which have to exit on the public network to this address. Often the default router is connected to the Internet. If you do not configure the default router, the Stormshield Network Firewall will not be able to let through packets which have a different destination address from those directly linked to the Stormshield Network Firewall. You will be able to communicate between hosts on the internal, external or DMZ networks, but not with any other network (including the Internet).

Router objects can now be selected as the default gateway. Once it has been selected, the hostname will appear on the screen. This option may be grayed out in several main gateways have been defined.
