162 ExtremeWarePx1 1.2 Command Reference Guide

Commands for Persistence Modes, and NAT Modes

enable gateway-mode

Description

Enables gateway mode on the application switch.

Syntax Description

This command has no parameters or options.

Default

Gateway mode is disabled by default.

Usage Guidelines

You must have administrator privileges to issue this command.

When you conÞgure half-NAT mode, you can also enable gateway mode for the application switch, and

add at least one IP address (using the configure gateway-mode add ipaddress command).

If VRRP is enabled, you must specify at least one gateway-mode IP address for each active VRRP class

before you enable gateway mode. An active VRRP class is one that contains at least one service. When

you add a gateway-mode IP address with the configure gateway-mode add ipaddress command, you

can specify the VRID of a VRRP class. A given VRRP class can have multiple gateway-mode IP

addresses.

When gateway mode and VRRP are both enabled, you must also make sure every server responds to

VIPs in a single VRRP class. That is, all services that use a particular server must be in the same VRRP

class.

For more information about VRRP, see Chapter 5.

You must use the build command to commit the conÞguration changes made by this command.

Example

This example enables gateway mode and adds 10.10.10.1 as an IP address that a serverÕs default

gateway can forward to.

* SummitPx1::33 # configure gateway-mode add ipaddress 10.10.10.1
