WAN Gateway Services
In addition to LAN provisioning, the node can utilize its built-in cellular connection to act as a WAN gateway and provide a proxy to essential services for devices on day one.
The node's DHCP server hands out the node's address as:
Server | Description |
---|---|
NTP server | This is a local service, synced to the node's system clock. |
DNS server | DNS lookups by devices are relayed via Lighthouse VPN, to the DNS server that Lighthouse is configured to use. |
Syslog server | Note that incoming syslog messages are dropped unless LogZilla for NetOps Automation has been activated. |
Default gateway | When the node is configured in cellular router mode (i.e. with forwarding and masquerading enabled), devices can route to external services, for example, to enroll with third-party management systems for additional configuration. |
