Chapter 28. Configuring an Internet Gateway


IN THIS CHAPTER

  • The Basics of Routers and Network Address Translation (NAT)

  • Configuring a NAT Gateway in FreeBSD

  • Enabling NAT for Systems Without Static IP Addresses

  • Configuring Clients to Use the New Gateway

  • Configuring a Wireless Internet Access Point

  • Routing Between Three or More Networks

  • Dynamic Routing

Routing and gateways were covered briefly in Chapter 22, "Principles of TCP/IP Networking," as was the concept of NAT (Network Address Translation). Chapter 23, "Configuring Basic Networking Services," also covered routing a little bit, but mostly in the context of configuring a host to use a router. This chapter explains how to configure FreeBSD to serve as a router or a gateway as well as how to set up Network Address Translation to provide routing services to an entire subnetwork. The chapter begins with a few short definitions of each of the items we will be discussing.
