Routing Traffic To Untangle Server From Another External Network (Standard Mode)
This topic is for Standard Mode only. If you are in Advanced Mode, go to Routing Traffic To Untangle Server From Another External Network (Advanced Mode).
For more complex deployments:
- If your Untangle Server is a bridge, you can create an external address alias to allow the Untangle Server to route traffic for a network other than the network that is defined by the Untangle Server's external IP address.
- If the Untangle Server is a router, you can create an external address alias to allow the Untangle Server to receive traffic for more than just the network of the Untangle Server's external interface.
- If you want to create a NAT policy as outlined in Configuring Untangle Server's Interfaces (Advanced Mode), each source address must be assigned to the Untangle Server.
To create an external address alias:
- From the Navigation pane, choose Config > Networking.
- Click the Network tab.
- In the Configuration for the External Interface section, click on the External Aliases button. The External Aliases window launches.
- Click the plus (+) button. A new row appears in the table.
- In the new row, specify the address and netmask of the additional external network. The netmask may be entered in dot notation such as 255.255.255.0 or CIDR but will be displayed in CIDR notation after it is set.
- Click Save.
