| Warning |

Because the DRVA is a stateless appliance, a default gateway added according to the above procedure will not be persistent after a DRVA reboot. A Power Shell script can be used to add persistent default routes on a DRVA. Contact JetStream support for help performing this action. |
JetStream DR Version 4.1.18 (and above)
Starting with JetStream DR version 4.1.18, it is possible to add additional network routes from the GUI.
In the JetStream DR GUI navigate to: Appliances > Settings > Add.
Using the GUI, apply any required additional network routes.

This is the recommended method to add network routes for JetStream software versions that support this capability. |
