Adding new interface (Software Appliance / VMware Virtual Appliance)

In the Software Appliance / VMware Virtual Appliance edition, WinRoute allows to add new

network interfaces (dial-up, PPPoE and PPTP connections) right in the administration console.

Click on Add to open a menu and select type of the new interface (dial-up can be added only

if an analog or ISDN modem is installed on the firewall host).

The new interface needs an easily identifiable name that will be showed in WinRoute and it

needs to be added to a group of interfaces (this item can be changed as desired any time

later).

Other parameters of the interface depend on the selected interface type. Most types require

username and password for access verification.

Optionally, you can specify IP address of a specific DNS server which will then be used as the

primary DNS server for Internet connections via this interface.

The Dialing settings can be used to set time intervals in which the connection should be estab-

lished persistently and when it should be disconnected. Out of these intervals, the connection

will be established on demand (i.e. it will be established automatically any time WinRoute

needs to send a

packet

to the corresponding network). For details about on-demand dialing,

see chapters

6.2
