InterGate Serving Multiple LANs
A single IG server may serve multiple LANs:

Here is the procedure for serving additional LANs

  1. Add the NIC to the IG server and connect it to the network.

  2. Configure the NIC under Windows. Do not bind any network protocol and give it a unique name like: LAN3.

  3. Create an IG server port with the same name. 
    - Method: Ethernet
    - Static IP should be on segment that will not overlap with the existing cards. For example if the 1st LAN has the static IP: 172.16.0.254/255.255.0.0 the ADMIN should have:172.17.0.254/255.255.0.0, the LAN2 should have: 172.18.0.254/255.255.0.0 etc..
    - Define the DHCP ranges for the new LAN. The DHCP ranges should respect the NIC IP configuration.

  4. Update the ServerSettings.ini file. Add the new port name exactly as it appears under the IG interface.

  5. Reboot the IG server.

  3. How can I have some administration computers have free access? Add their mac addresses to the FreeMacs table through the web interface.
