Direct Connection - Secure Computing SG300 User Manual

Direct Connection

A direct connection is a direct IP connection to a network, i.e. a connection that does not
require a modem to be established. This is typically a LAN, DMZ or Guest connection,
but may also be an Internet connection. Network settings may be assigned statically, or
dynamically by a DHCP server.
Note
Direct connections may be added to a network bridge. For more information see
Bridging on page 91.
Network settings
Click the Edit icon of the interface your wish to modify.
To assign network settings statically, enter an IP Address and Subnet Mask. If you are
using the SnapGear unit in its default, network address translation mode, (see Network
address translation in the Advanced section of this chapter), this is typically part of a
private IP range, such as 192.168.0.1 / 255.255.255.0. Ensure DHCP assigned is
unchecked.
If required, enter a default Gateway out which to send outgoing traffic on this connection.
For LAN connections, a default gateway is not generally necessary.
