Firewall training for beginners -BEST Routing TIPS

[Music] welcome to our top five commands and this time it's all about routing your 48 acts as an OSI layer 3 device it is used as a gateway between networks it supports different protocols dynamic protocols static protocols and the first command our first command will be the get router info routing table and now there are two variants of that command you can see the full routing table including the inactive routes that's the full routing table including inactive routes and you can see only the active route there use the all without command our next command which is very useful whenever we wish to see more details on a specific destination we can use the get router info routing table now we'll use the details for our destination and this one it's going to be the default route and we can see that when we ask for the different routes we get true static routes we get one from the when to interface and its IP address is the 10th of 0.5 to 2 and the second one which is actually the active one is the one from when one interface and the 10.0 the 3.1 we can also see the different administrative distance the active one has an administered distance of 10 the inactive one has an administrative distance of 20 there are times when you have to static routes to the same destination both static routes have the same priority have the same administrative distance and you wish to load balance the traffic between them forty-eight load balances the traffic automatically but the load balance algorithm can change so let's change to study crowds to be within the same priority and administrative distance let's look at both they are in the routing table in the active routing table and yes they are and now let's config system setting sorry for that always happens and said before ICMP mode ICMP is equal cost multi path that says actually that whenever we have two static routes using this same priority in administrative distance FortiGate will load balance the traffic how will it load it the traffic well there are actually four different algorithms using the same source IP using our interface weight usage that is whenever on one interface you get into a specific threshold the traffic moves to another interface and you can also use the same destination and source IP and now we move on to our fourth command which is the link health monitor link health monitor is a mechanism that protects your foliate from a router fail over now assume that your 48 - I speak connections ice-t one and ice P - the first connection which is one one connection is active since it has a lower distance the second static route is not active now whenever photogate notices that the route through when one is not working anymore it transfers or it makes this second round the second static wrap it makes it active it makes it active so it can route the traffic to the internet how do we do it we use link health monitor config system link monitor edit that is the name of the link health monitor set the source interface and now set the server that is the server that we will probe it can be eight eight eight eight which is Google's DNS server or any other stable server set gateway IP now set the protocol can via using pin or it can use TCP or UDP echo and then set the update static route to enable moving on to our last command which is the diagonals firewall peer out list now this command actually shows us the policy based routes table now you can create a policy based route which is a much granular way to create route using the policy routes under the network menu you use it when use it carefully and use it only when you have a very specific need from your route entry
