Routing FAQ

Find answers to common questions about routing.

When editing route configurations through the web admin console, why are its advanced route settings made through the CLI, such as the BGP neighbor password, lost?

The web admin console only supports basic route settings. When you edit a route configuration through the web admin console, the firewall deletes the existing configuration and the associated advanced settings configured on the CLI. It then adds the new configuration with only the basic settings. So, relevant advanced route configurations are lost and you must reconfigure them.

If you have advanced route configurations, we recommend you always edit through the CLI. See Route configuration.

Why don't route configurations edited through the CLI appear on the web admin console?

You must run the write command to save route configurations made through the CLI so they reflect on the web admin console and persist on a firewall or daemon restart. See Configure BGP.
