The Route Policies report displays the route policy entries that exist on the appliance(s).
Each appliance's default 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
Templates tab, under
System.
You may also want to create a Route Policy entry when multiple tunnels exist to the remote peer, and you want the appliance to dynamically select the best path based on one of these criteria:
Manage these instances on the Templates tab, or click the
Edit icon to manage Route policies directly for a particular appliance.
