Configuring Internet access

The gateway has a leased Internet line via the provider's router. Consequently, you must define the static public IP address for the gateway and configure a default route over the provider's router.

Configure the static public IP address for the interface en5-0 in the same way as configuring the ports in the previous section:

For en5-0 go to LAN -> IP Configuration -> Interfaces -> <en5-0>.
Click the icon.
Leave Address Mode set to Static .
In IP Address / Net Mask enter the IP address and the subnet mask, here 213.7.46.137 and 255.255.255.248 .
Leave Interface Mode set to Untagged .
Confirm with OK.

Set up a default route over the provider's router.

Go to Network -> Routes ->IPv4 Route Configuration-> New .

Network -> Routes-> IPv4 Route Configuration -> New

Proceed as follows:

For Route Type select Default Route via Interface . Default Route is used if no other suitable route is available.
Select the Interface that is to be used for this route, e. g. LAN_EN5-0 .
Under Gateway IP Address enter the IP address of the Internet gateway, in this example 213.7.46.138 .
For Metric, select the route's priority, e. g.

1 . The lower the value, the higher the priority of the route.
Press OK to confirm your entries.
