Default gateway

This function allows you to set a default gateway for the storage system. Only one default gateway can be set up at any given time.

Note

The default gateway will become

 inactive

if any of the following conditions are met:

• the interface with the default gateway has become part of a bonding interface,
• the interface with the default gateway has been removed or deactivated (concerns both physical and bonding interfaces).

Note

It is possible to set the default gateway on an inactive interface. In such a case, the gateway will remain inactive until that interface is activated.

Note

If the interface you are setting the default gateway on does not have any gateway defined (i.e. the

 Gateway

field says

 Undefined

), you will need to define a gateway first (under the text console, please press CTRL+ALT+N and select the interface followed by

 Gateway

).
