Title: Adding second external interface
Post by: Anonymous on July 16, 2004, 05:02:13 PM

I want to add my SME 6 server third ethernet card acting as a second external interface. I want one internal two external interfaces. I found a link in contribs.org http://no.longer.valid/phpwiki/index.php/How%20to%20add%20an%20additional%20network%20card%20%28including%20a%20Token%20Ring%20one%29%20to%20e-smith%204.1.x?action=BackLinks

When I add extra interface as described in this link, does it become an external interface if I will not define it as internal. If it is possible, do I need extra configuration to respond smtp and http requests through that second external interface.

Thanks for replies.

If you add another interface, it will be whatever you make it.  If you put in a private IP, it will be private, public IP - public or external.  Remember, if it is external, you need to configure a firewall rule set for the new interface.  If not, you will leave your machine open for attack.

just my two cents
