Step 9. Configuring network routes

At this step, assign the gateway address for configuring the network route. You can also add, delete, or modify additional static network routes at this step.

Assigning a gateway address using the DHCP server

To assign the gateway address using the DHCP server:

1. Make sure that the value of the Gateway setting is set to dhcp (see figure below).

   You may need to use the DHCP server for assigning the gateway address if you are configuring Kaspersky Secure Mail Gateway in test mode.

   The use of the DHCP server for assigning the gateway address is enabled by default.

   

   Assigning a gateway address using the DHCP server

2. Select Continue.
3. Press Enter.

Assigning a static gateway address

To assign a static gateway address:

1. Select the Gateway setting (see figure below).
