Example: Dual WAN policy-based routing

This example routes traffic to a specific IP address to go through the cellular WWAN interface, while all other traffic uses the Ethernet WAN interface.


  1. Log into Digi Remote Manager, or log into the local Web UI as a user with full Admin access rights.
  2. Access the device configuration:

    1. Locate your device as described in Use Digi Remote Manager to view and manage your device.
    2. Click the Device ID.
    3. Click Settings.
    4. Click to expand Config.

    1. On the menu, click System. Under Configuration, click Device Configuration.

      The Configuration window is displayed.

  3. Click Network > Routes > Policy-based routing.
  4. Click the to add a new route policy.

  5. For Label, type Route through cellular.
  6. For Interface, select .
  7. Configure the source address:
    1. Click to expand Source address.
    2. For Type, select Zone.
    3. For Zone, select Internal.
  8. Configure the destination address:
    1. Click to expand Destination address.
    2. For Type, select IPv4 address.
    3. For IPv4 address, type the IP address that will be the destination for outgoing traffic routed through the WWAN interface. In the above example, this is 241.236.162.59.

  9. Click Apply to save the configuration and apply the change.
  1. Select the device in Remote Manager and click Actions > Open Console, or log into the EX15 local command line as a user with full Admin access rights.

    Depending on your device configuration, you may be presented with an Access selection menu. Type admin to access the Admin CLI.

  2. At the command line, type config to enter configuration mode:

    > config
(config)>

  3. Create the route policy:
    1. Add a new routing policy:
      (config)> add network route policy end
(config network route policy 0)>
    2. Set the label that will be used to identify this route policy:
      (config network route policy 0)> label "Route through cellular"
(config network route policy 0)>
    3. Set the interface:
      (config network route policy 0)> interface /network/interface/
(config network route policy 0)>
    4. Configure the source address:
      1. Set the source type to zone:
        (config network route policy 0)> src type zone
(config network route policy 0)>
      2. Set the zone to internal:
        (config network route policy 0)> src zone internal
(config network route policy 0)>
    5. Configure the destination address:
      1. Set the destination to use an IPv4 address:
        (config network route policy 0)> dst type address
(config network route policy 0)>
      2. Set the IP address that will be the destination for outgoing traffic routed through the WWAN interface. In the above example, this is 241.236.162.59.
        (config network route policy 0)> dst address 241.236.162.59
(config network route policy 0)>
  4. Save the configuration and apply the change.
    (config)> save
Configuration saved.

  5. Type exit to exit the Admin CLI.

    Depending on your device configuration, you may be presented with an Access selection menu. Type quit to disconnect from the device.
