Only use the Route Policy template to create (and apply) rules for flows that are to be:

Each appliance's default routing behavior is to auto-optimize all IP traffic, automatically directing flows to the appropriate tunnel. Auto-optimization strategies reduce the need to create explicit route map entries for optimization. The three strategies that Silver Peak uses are TCP-based auto-opt, IP-based auto-opt, and subnet sharing. By default, all three are enabled on the System template.
Tip 
If you're upgrading from a software version that precedes VXOA 6.2.x, you can migrate subnets from legacy GMS route maps to the appliance's subnet table for subnet sharing. In the menus, go to Maintenance > Tools > Migrate GMS Route Maps.

With this template, you can create rules with priority from 1000 – 9999, inclusive.When you apply the template to an appliance, the GMS deletes all appliance Route Policy entries in that range before applying its policies.

If you access an appliance directly (via the WebUI or the command line interface), you can create rules with higher priority than GMS rules (1 – 999) and rules with lower priority (10000 – 65534).

Adding a rule increments the last Priority by 10. This leaves room for you to insert a rule in between rules without having to renumber subsequent priorities. Likewise, you can just edit the number.

To allow any IP address, use 0.0.0.0/0.

In the Tunnel column, you specify how to characterize the flow. The options are auto-optimized, pass-through [shaped], pass-through-unshaped, or dropped.

When auto-optimized, a flow is directed to the appropriate tunnel.

Note 
When configuring the Route Policy for an individual appliance, the continue option is available if a specific tunnel is named in the Tunnel column. That option enables the appliance to read subsequent entries in the individual Route Policy in the event that the tunnel used in a previous entry goes down. For further information, see the Appliance Manager Operator’s Guide.
