Options <config_host>
You can specify up to 20 hosts on desktop models and 49 hosts on rack mount models
to act as gateways in your network. Each gateway host must be defined in the IOLAN’s
host table.
default|host|network
Specify the type of gateway:
zDefault—A gateway which provides general access beyond your local network.
zHost—(Default) A gateway reserved for accessing a specific host external to your
local network.
zNetwork—A gateway reserved for accessing a specific network external to your
local network.
ipv6tunnel <tunnel_name>
Specify the configured IPv6 tunnel that you want to use as the gateway to the
destination.
serial-port ppp|slip <line_name>
Specify the PPP or SLIP configured line that you want to use as the gateway to the
destination.
<dest_IP_addr>
When the gateway is a Host or Network gateway, you must specify the IPv4 or IPv6
address of the target host machine/network.
<subnet_bits>|<prefix_bits>
When the gateway is a Network gateway, you must specify the network’s subnet mask
(IPv4) or prefix bits (IPv6).
