external is for connecting to an external network (like the Internet). The UAG
automatically adds this interface to the default WAN trunk.

gateway (if any) on this interface. The UAG decides which gateway to use based on this
priority. The lower the number, the higher the priority. If two or more gateways have
the same priority, the UAG uses the one that was configured first.
