Service Routing

IPBrick allows to route the traffic of several network services to different output interfaces. A communication server may be routing the SMTP traffic to a certain ISP router and the web traffic to another (example at Figure 7.24). The definition of gateways is made through the following fields:

• Name: The name of the new access to the internet;
• IP address: Internal router IP responsible for that access - Gateway;
• Tag in the firewall: Automatically attributed.

After defining a Destination, it's necessary to add specific rules in the firewall so that the routing of desired services becomes a reality. It will be presented firewall configuration examples for:

• Using the new access to send and receive email;
• Using the new access for web traffic;
