Create a virtual router

Create a virtual router to enable network segmentation and manage routing configurations independently within the firewall device.

Virtual routers allow you to segment network traffic and create separate routing domains within a single firewall device, providing enhanced network management and security isolation.

Before you begin

Follow these steps to create a virtual router:

Procedure

Step 1

Choose Devices > Device Management, and edit the Firewall Threat Defense device.

Step 2

Click Routing.

Step 3

Click Manage Virtual Routers.

Step 4

Click Add Virtual Router (add virtual router icon).

Step 5

In the Add Virtual Router box, enter a name and description for the virtual router.

Note

If you are creating a virtual router that was deleted less than 10 seconds earlier, an error message appears stating that deletion of the virtual router is in progress. If you want to create a deleted virtual router successively, use a different name for the new virtual router.

Step 6

Click Ok.

The Routing page appears, displaying the newly created virtual router page.

The virtual router is successfully created and appears in the routing configuration interface, ready for further configuration.
