Routing Enhancements

Intranet or Internet Fallback Routes

There were certain configurations when route eligibility was used that a Conduit Fallback route was not hit because the conduit was down, but the gateway was still reachable. When this occurred, the traffic would hit a pass-through route which in certain designs was then dropped by the Oracle. To eliminate Oracle from dropping frames the user can now select Intranet/Internet fallback routes such that if the conduit fails the Oracle will forward traffic to the defined Intranet router/gateway. See figure 7 for details.

From figure 5 we can see that this option is configured under “Appliance – Internet Service – Ignore WAN link Status”. The same option exists under Intranet service and is enabled via the check box.
