Make a Network act as an Internet Gateway

Abstract

Setting a private network as an Internet Gateway provides the WPC with an exit point (default route) to use to route traffic to the internet that does not match any configured Applications, Routes, IP Services or tunnel IP addresses.

Setting a private network as an Internet Gateway provides the WPC with an exit point (default route) to use to route traffic to the internet that does not match any configured Applications, Routes, IP Services or tunnel IP addresses.

Configuring a Network as an Internet Gateway must be done if the Internet Access setting of any User Group, Network or Host is set to 'Split Tunnel OFF.' Refer Tutorial: Learn About the Levels of Security Afforded by the Use of Various Internet Access Options. The physical network representing the configured CloudConnexa Network must have access to the internet.

One or more Networks can be set as Internet Gateways. Specific Internet Gateways can be used to route the internet traffic from Users, Networks, and Hosts. Refer Constrain the choice of Internet Gateways for User Groups, Networks, and Hosts.

There are three ways that a Network can be set as an Internet Gateway:

  1. Choose the Secure Internet Access network scenario from the Network Configuration wizard and configure a new Network with the All Internet Traffic option. Refer Add a Network for secure internet access. If you skip the configuration wizard while adding a new Network, toggle the Internet Gateway switch ON in the form-based Network configuration.

  2. For an existing Network, toggle the Internet Gateway switch ON by editing the Network details from the list of networks. Refer Edit Network details from the list

  3. For an existing Network, toggle the Internet Gateway switch ON by editing the Network details from the detailed view of the Network. Refer Edit Network Details

Note

Remember to change the Internet Access settings to Split Tunnel OFF for User Groups, Networks and Hosts. Refer Change internet access for User Groups, Networks, and Hosts.
