-m|—netmask NETMASK network mask for the network is NETWORK, e.g.,
255.255.255.0
-n|—network NETWORK address of the network is NETWORK, e.g., 192.168.14.0
-r|—router-vid VID VLAN ID for the network for the router in transparent mode
-s|—server-vid VID VLAN ID for the network for the servers in transparent mode
-p|—prefix PREFIX network mask as a prefix width is PREFIX, e.g., 24
-v|—vid VID VLAN ID for the network is VID
default: original VLAN tag
For example:
nwconfig -A newISP -i 192.168.14.21 -g 192.168.14.1
The IP you specify will be the WebMux’s main IP on the additional network.
To activate the configuration immediately without rebooting:
nwconfig -I newISP
If you need to assign VLAN ID for the additional network use the -v option:
nwconfig -A newISP -i 192.168.14.21 -g 192.168.14.1 -v 200
In NAT mode, if you do not specify a gateway IP, the new network will be put on the Server
LAN side.
If you will be pairing up WebMuxes in a failover configuration, we recommend that you
perform these preliminary configurations first before attempting to connect the two units
together.
K.1 Important Considerations Pertaining Only to
Additional Network Configurations.
NAT Mode VLAN and Server LAN Gateway IP:
In NAT mode, the interface assigned for the additional network depends on whether or not
you specify a gateway IP. If you specify, a gateway IP, the additional network IP will be
configured on the Router (Internet) LAN interface for multiple uplink. Otherwise, it will be
used on the Server LAN interface to create additional networks for the server LAN side.
We recommend that you set up different tagged VLANs for each additional network you set
up for the WebMux.
If you already have a VLAN ID configured for your original network configuration and you
do not specify a VLAN ID for your additional network configuration with nwconfig, the
additional network will use the same VLAN ID that you specified for your original network
configuration. Even though the WebMux allows for this kind of configuration, it is generally
not recommended. We suggest that all separate networks be on separate VLAN IDs.
Also, you cannot create an additional network with a VLAN ID unless the original network is
also configured with a VLAN ID. This is true for all modes (NAT, Transparent, and Out-of-
Path). Generally, it is not recommended that you create additional networks unless you are
using VLANs.
If you are pairing up two WebMuxes in a failover configuration, you can use the same Router
(Internet) LAN and Server LAN IP address for the additional networks in both the primary
