Gateway Commands

Add Gateway

Description Adds a gateway. You can configure up to twenty gateways.

User Level Admin

Syntax add gateway <config_host> default

add gateway <config_host> host <dest_ip_addr>

add gateway <config_host> network <dest_ipv4_addr><dest_ipv6_addr> [<subnet_bits_0-32><subnet_bits_0-128>]

Options <config_host>

You can specify up to twenty hosts to act as gateways in your network. Each gateway host must be defined in the Device Server host table.

defaulthostnetwork

Specify the type of gateway:

zDefault—A gateway which provides general access beyond your local network.

zHost—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.

<dest_ip_addr>

When the gateway is a Host or Network gateway, you must specify the IP address of the target host machine/network.

<subnet_bits>

When the gateway is a Network gateway, you must specify the subnet/prefix bits for that network. If the IP address is IPv4, then the Subnet/Prefix Bits range is 0-32. If the IP address is IPv6, then the Subnet/Prefix Bits range is 0-128.

Delete Gateway

Description Deletes a gateway.

User Level Admin

Syntax delete gateway <config_gateway_host>

Option <config_gateway_host>

You can view the configured gateways that can be deleted by typing delete gateway ?.
