UTM 9.3 Mgmt interface and separate internal for dhcp, using correct gateway?

RomeoJett

This is a home box, latest version prior to .4. When I installed it the box has a 4 port NIC, and one on board gig nic (eth0). I thought initially the on board would be designated internal lan management NIC, this is where I connect to the UTM web, etc.  I have port eth1 setup as WAN, this is first port on 4 port nic. I wanted to setup eth2,3,4 one of them to be my internal LAN DHCP nic that I could connect to a system, or a switch, that would server IP's, etc.

So I setup eth3, gave it and IP, and set it up as DHCP server, when I plug a pc in, I get IP , everything is as I would think, the probably is I don't get out bound. Not sure what the default gateway of this eth3 should be?

The WAN is technically the dfg, but if this was anything else, I would think the dfg would be the IP I gave the eth3 NIC, but that doesn't work. The eth0 that was setup by install doesn't even have a dfg assigned. I could use the eth0 IP, but that doesn't work, as it gives some issue with load balancing. and the WAN IP is dhcp, which could change, so how to do I tell it to use the WAN as the gateway?

Reason for me to use one of the ports on the Quad card is, its a higher end card, and I want faster speeds, and better reliability.  So I may have to change eth0 all together to be on one of the other NIC ports, if it's sort like a Linksys, where the IP you give it via management is the IP of the dhcp server, and the gateway, etc. My cisco box has an internal mgmt. port that is separate from its wan facing port so I was wanting to set It up like that.

    I am having difficulties understanding what you are asking... It sounds like you are trying to ask the following:

    A. You would like a dedicated Ethernet port that only has access to the WebAdmin

    B. You are unable to access the internet from any of your computers.

    This is correct?

    Some what yet. I have port 3 setup as a dhcp server, which at some point I will plug into a switch, initially I plugged a PC into it, so I would expect and IP address. so what do I use the the default gate way on that port?

    port 4 is the way, and port 0 is the integrated port I access with my 192.x.x.x:4444 When I try to use that IP as the default gate way It doesn't appear to work.

    You would use whatever IP address you configured under the DHCP Server configuration. Normally when automatically by the installation wizard you will see the DHCP server configured as 192.168.1.1 with the DNS and Default Gateway using the same IP Addresses. Your clients should automatically pull all of this information from the UTM.
