Adding routes for route-based VPNs

To configure routing for VPNs that use Route-Based VPN Tunnel elements, add remote networks that can be reached through the VPN tunnel to the tunnel interfaces. The routing defines which traffic is sent through the VPN tunnel.

Routing for route-based VPNs does not use Router or NetLink elements. Instead, add remote networks reachable through the VPN tunnel directly to the tunnel interfaces as directly connected networks.

The system automatically adds routes to local networks connected to the tunnel interface, provided the tunnel interface has an IP address with a netmask other than /32.

For example, if a tunnel interface has 10.1.1.1/24 as the IP address and netmask, an automatic route to the 10.1.1.0/24 network is added for the tunnel interface.
