Black Box 16 port, 24 port manual Adding a gateway

Adding a gateway

To add a gateway proceed as follows:

1.From the Network Configuration menu, select ‘Gateway’.

2.From the Gateway menu, select ‘Add Gateway’.

3.From the host table now displayed, select a host.

Note that you can define a host only once as a gateway. When you have added a gateway, you must define its type.

4.From the Gateway menu, select ‘Change Gateway’. The Gateways form is now displayed (for example):

This form lists all gateways defined for your network. In this example, only one has been defined.

5.Complete the Type field; the values are ‘host’, ‘network’ or ‘default’.

If you set the field to ‘host’ or ‘network’, you must include the internet address of the target host or network. If you change a gateway from ‘host’ or ‘network’ to ‘default’, the internet address will be ignored.

6.Complete the ‘Status’ field; the values are ‘active’ or ‘passive’.

Note the gateways configured in this table will be ignored if you have used DHCP or BOOTP to download a single passive gateway into the unit; see Appendix F BOOTP.
