Configuring Static Routing on a Megaport NAT Gateway

Static routes establish reachability to peers in place of BGP connections that provide dynamic routing. You configure static routes to provide connectivity to a customer device that doesn’t support BGP or to a target device that requires manually configured addressing and routes. With static routes, you need to manually update the route when there are any topology changes.

A NAT Gateway supports up to 100 static routes.

To add a static route

  1. In the Megaport Portal, go to the Services page.
  2. Select the VXC and select the NAT Gateway A-End.
  3. In the NAT Gateway Connection detail page, under Static Routes, specify the IPv4 or IPv6 destination network address in CIDR notation.
  4. Specify the IPv4 or IPv6 address of the next-hop router.
    The address must be in the same subnet as the interface but it cannot match the interface IP address.
  5. (Optional) In the Description field, include any notes that will help identify this static route.
    The description range is from 1 to 100 characters.
  6. Click Next.
  7. Update the NAT Gateway B-End, if necessary.
  8. Click Next.
  9. Click Update.
