Before You Begin

Step 1. Create an AWS Route Table

Create an AWS route table for each private subnet.

  1. Log into the AWS console.
  2. Click Services and select VPC.
  3. In the Virtual Private Cloud section of the left menu, click Route Tables.
  4. Click Create Route Table. The Create Route Table popover opens.

    • VPC – Select the VPC from the list.

  6. Click Yes, Create

Step 2. Associate the Private Subnet with the Route Table

If the subnet is not explicitly associated with a route table, the main route table for the VPC is used.

  1. Log into the AWS console.
  2. Click Services and select VPC.
  3. In the Virtual Private Cloud section of the left menu, click Route Tables.
  4. Select the route table created in step 1.
  5. In the lower half of the screen, click on the Subnet Associations tab.

Step 2. Add a Default Route with the Network Interface of the Firewall as the Target

Locate the elastic network interface identifier (eni-12345678) for the network interface in this subnet. Click on the network interface in the Description tab of the firewall instance to retrieve the ID.
