How to add a gateway to a network

Alternatively to the below method, you can choose to add a gateway from the computer properties page.

  1. Open the Networks page.
  2. Select the network.
  3. Select Modify.
  4. On the Network properties page, identify the Gateways section.
  5. Select Add gateway.
  6. In the Add gateway dialog:

    • Enter IP address.

      Example: 192.168.1.1

    • Enter MAC.

      Example: 54a050e55bc0, 54:a0:50:e5:5b:c0, or *

      Entering the asterisk/star symbol (*) as a wildcard for the MAC address is useful if you use network gateways (Fortinet) that after a power cycle changes the MAC address but keeps the IP address.

  7. Select Save.
