Network Access - Gateway Terminal

A gateway terminal is a special case of an output terminal. An appliance can have a maximum of one gateway terminal. It is configured as regular output terminal in that the name resolves to the remote peer.

In addition:

• The default route is set to be through the peer address where the terminal is connected. The connections to any address other than those belonging to regular terminals or used by the default interface (the internal service network) are routed through the gateway output.
• The DNS nameserver is set to the gateway terminal's peer address.

An appliance with a gateway terminal can operate like a device connected to a regular LAN, Intranet or WAN, within the limits of the name resolution and routing is provided by the gateway appliance connected to the terminal.

In addition, you could select a pre-built appliances that act as gateways as well as gateways that provide un-restricted outgoing access to the Internet.
