Chapter 6. Configuration Examples
The configuration steps for such a network are:
1. Attach a BreadCrumb device to each of the two LANs using the BreadCrumbs’ ethernet interfaces.
2. Configure the Network A BreadCrumb device as follows:
a. Reachback Interface: Ethernet
b. Reachback Mode: Gateway
c. Alternate Gateway: Disabled
d. IP Address Settings: as appropriate for a member of wired Network A.
e. AirFortress Encryption: Enabled
3. Configure the Network B BreadCrumb device as follows:
a. Reachback Interface: Ethernet
b. Reachback Mode: Gateway (Ingress)
c. Alternate Gateway: Disabled
d. IP Address Settings: as appropriate for a member of wired Network B. Make a note of this
address as it will be Network B’s default gateway address later.
e. AirFortress Encryption: Enabled
4. Configure your Network B devices to use the Network B BreadCrumb device’s ethernet address as
their default gateway.
5. Add intermediate BreadCrumb devices as necessary to cover the distance between/among LANs.
Note: This configuration can be extended to allow connections from Network A to Network B by configuring
the Network A BreadCrumb device to use Port Forwarding, as described in the Section called Forwarding
Settings in Chapter 5.
Convoy with UAV-Based Camera for Forward Observation
A convoy with an associated UAV can provide a UAV-based video feed to one or all of the vehicles in the
convoy. One possible configuration for such a network including a network camera is:
1. Affix a BreadCrumb ME and camera to the UAV. Connect the BreadCrumb ME’s ethernet interface
to the camera’s ethernet port using a crossover cable.
