Configuring Network Interfaces for Routing
When you open the Routing and Remote Access management console and expand your
computer name, you will see four nodes in the navigation tree: Network Interfaces, Remote
Access Logging & Policies, IPv4, and IPv6, as shown in Figure 11-5. You can view
Figure 11-3. Selecting Custom Configuration
360 Microsoft Windows Server 2008 Administration
your available network interfaces by clicking Network Interfaces. Here you can connect,
disconnect, enable, or disable any of your interfaces simply by right-clicking the interface
and selecting the appropriate action. Since right now we??™re more concerned about
routing than remote access, let??™s skip Remote Access Logging & Policies. The two most
important items are the IPv4 and IPv6 menu items. These two protocols are supported
natively by Windows Server 2008.
When you expand either protocol, you see two child items: General and Static Routes.
The General option displays each of your interfaces again, except this time it shows the
important pieces of information regarding that protocol on the network interface. It shows
the interface name, type, IP address, incoming bytes, outgoing bytes, static filters, administrative
status, and operational status (Figure 11-6).
