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

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:
 |
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.

With this template, you can create rules with priority from 1000 – 9999, inclusive.When you apply the template to an appliance, the Orchestrator 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 Orchestrator rules (1 – 999) and rules with lower priority (10000 – 65534).

To allow any IP address, use 0.0.0.0/0.

In the Destination 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. If you choose, you can specify that the appliance use metrics to dynamically select the best path based on one of these criteria:

Note 
When configuring the Route Policy for an individual appliance when multiple tunnels exist to the remote peer, you can also select the path based on a preferred interface or a specific tunnel. For further information, see the Appliance Manager Operator’s Guide.

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.
