How to create Routed network

A routed network is a type of local network that utilizes a router with at least one public interface, allowing devices within the network to access external resources on the Internet. Additionally, with specific NAT settings in place, devices outside of the local network can also connect to it. Essentially, all devices within this network have the ability to connect to the Internet and utilize external resources.

How to build a network with routing?

To create a network, select the Networks section in the vertical menu on the left and click Add a network. After that, the configuration panel will appear on the right, which is divided into the main configuration steps:
