Routing Between Internal VergeOS Networks

Step-by-step instructions for establishing routing between two internal networks in VergeOS by creating route and accept rules on each network.

The following is a simple method to establish a route between two networks in the VergeOS platform.

2. From the network dashboard, click on Rules in the left navigation menu.
3. In the Rules menu, click on New to create a new network rule.
4. Configure the rule with the following settings:

   • Rule:

Create a Network Rule on the First Network to Allow Traffic from the Second Network

     • Name: A name indicating this rule allows traffic from the second network.
     • Action: Accept
     • Protocol: Any
     • Direction: Incoming
   • Source:

     • Type: Other Network Address
     • Network: The name of the second network
