Note
Both network connections (ports) have their own network segment. Therefore make sure that
the IP addresses used are different for each segment.
Example:
Subnet mask:
IP address 1:
IP address 2:
255.255.255.0
192.168.

Using a single common network
If there is only one (logical) network, it is recommended to connect edgeGate only via the Ethernet interface
of the IT side with the network. In this case, the Ethernet interface of the machine side should be disabled by
setting the IP address to
0.0.0.0
and the subnet mask to
0.0.0.0
.
