Default route

This menu allows to define the gateway of IPBrick.

If IPBrick works as an Intranet server (IPBrick.I), the address to put in this field is the address of the equipment which makes the access to the Internet. This equipment may be, for example, a Communications IPBrick or a router. The gateway IP address shall have to be the address of that same IP network configured in the private interface, the ETH0. For instance, if the private interface has the IP address 192.168.1.1, the gateway IP address shall have to be 192.168.1.x. The interface to choose to configure the gateway is ETH0.

If IPBrick works as a Communications server (IPBrick.C) or if it accumulates the Intranet and Communications functions (IPBrick.I + IPBrick.C), the address to put in this field is the internal address of the equipment that accedes to the Internet, for example, a router. In this case, the gateway IP address shall have to be the address of that same IP network configured in the public interface, ETH1. The interface to choose to configure the gateway is ETH1.

To change the Gateway definition is necessary to click Modify. An example can be viewed at Figure 7.1
