3.3.3

Connecting to the local network (LAN)

SX-GATE is connected to your LAN via the first network interface of the system. The
interface is called "eth0" and may also be labeled with the acronym "LAN". Connect
this interface with an unused port of your LAN switch.

Make sure that you do not reverse the interfaces! Confusing can
result in SX-GATE not being addressable!
