Static Routes settings
The Static Routes settings are used for configuring routes that always use the same gateway and interface on this gateway when web traffic is routed from an appliance to a particular host.
NOTE: Adding a static route through the SWG Management UI triggers a network service restart to apply the change. This expected behavior may briefly disrupt connectivity, including temporary access loss or dropped sessions.
Skyhigh recommends performing such routing changes during a planned maintenance window and validating any modifications that affect critical traffic paths to avoid unintended impact.

Source-based routing
Settings for source-based routing under IPv4 or IPv6
Source-based routing
| Option | Definition |
|---|---|
| Source-based routing for IPv4 | When selected, source-based routing is performed under IPv4. |
| Source-based routing for IPv6 | When selected, source-based routing is performed under IPv6. |
| Static source routing table number | Provides a list of entries for source routing tables that are used to route the traffic that is sent and received through the management user interface. |
| Source-based routing list for IPv4 | Provides a list of routing entries for the traffic that is sent and received through the management user interface. These routing entries are for a network where IPv4 is followed. |
| Source-based routing list for IPv6 | These routing entries are for a network where IPv6 is followed. |
Static source routing table number – List entry
| Option | Definition |
|---|---|
| Source information to look up routing table |
Specifies the source IP address of the traffic that is routed according to the configured static source routing table. |
| Routing table number | Specifies the number of the routing table for routing the traffic that is sent and received through the management user interface. |
| Comment | Provides a plain-text comment on a static source routing table. |
Source-based routing list for IPv4 – List entry
| Option | Definition |
|---|---|
| Destination | Specifies the IP address range (in CIDR notation) for the destinations of the traffic that is sent through the management network interface. |
| Routing table number | Specifies the number of the routing table for routing the traffic that is sent and received through the management user interface. |
| Gateway | Specifies the IP address of the gateway for the traffic that is sent and received through the management network interface. |
| Device | Specifies the name of the network interface that is configured as the management network interface. |
| Source IP | Specifies the IP address of the network interface that is configured as the management network interface. This address is the source IP address of the traffic that is routed according to the routing table. |
| Comment | Provides a plain-text comment on an entry for source-based routing. |
Source-based routing list for IPv6 – List entry
| Option | Definition |
|---|---|
| Destination | Specifies the IP address range (in CIDR notation) for the destinations of the traffic that is sent through the management network interface. |
| Routing table number | Specifies the number of the routing table for routing the traffic that is sent and received through the management user interface. |
| Gateway | Specifies the IP address of the gateway for the traffic that is sent and received through the management network interface. |
| Device | Specifies the name of the network interface that is configured as the management network interface. |
| Source IP | Specifies the IP address of the network interface that is configured as the management network interface. This address is the source IP address of the traffic that is routed according to the routing table. |
| Comment | Provides a plain-text comment on an entry for source-based routing. |
