Set the Gateway Mode and Forwarding Settings

To change the gateway mode from normal to forwarding mode or vice versa and configure related settings click the Advanced tab on the RAS Secure Client Gateway Properties dialog.

Normal Mode

Select Forward requests to RAS Publishing Agent and HTTP Server to set the gateway to normal mode.

From this tab you can also configure the HTTP server the gateway forwards requests to in the HTTP Server(s) drop down menu. The HTTP servers entry can be setup with IPv6 servers. Please note that the HTTP server needs to support the same IP version as that of the browser making the request.

Forwarding Mode

Select Forward requests to next RAS Secure Client Gateway in chain (cascaded Firewall) to set the gateway to forwarding mode.

Select the forwarding gateway from the Forwarding RAS Secure Client Gateway(s) drop down menu.

Note: When a gateway is set to work in Forwarding mode, it's possible to forward the data to another gateway which is listening on IPv6. It is recommended that gateways configured in forwarding mode are set to forward data to a gateway with the same IP version.

Managing Multiple IP Addresses on a Gateway

If the server the RAS Secure Client Gateway is running on has multiple IP addresses, the gateway will listen on all IP addresses by default. To configure the gateway to listen on a specific IP address, select the IP address in the Bind Gateway to the following IP drop-down list.
