5.1.10 Routes

Routes provide a way to tailor a VSTP Connection to account for the network quality of service and Remote Node (/vstp/remotenodes) requirements. A Route is simply a collection of Connection (/vstp/connections) parameters that are grouped so the set can be easily assigned to multiple Connections.

Select the VSTP, and then Configuration, and then Routes page. The page displays the elements on the Routes View, Insert, and Edit pages.

Note:

Data Input Notes apply to the Insert and Edit pages only; the View page is read-only.
