Filer Routing

Although the filer can have multiple network interfaces, it does not function as a router. The filer does not route packets between its interfaces on behalf of other network hosts; however, it can route its own packets. For routing its own packets, the filer relies on explicit routes and default routes.

Typically, the filer learns explicit routes through icmp redirect messages received from the default router; you do not need to enter explicit routes in the filer routing table.
