[7.460][BUG][FIXED] Internet bound to wrong interface ?

Hi

When checking the "Internet" object definition when we have only one external WAN, we have it bound to External (WAN) and as a comment we have "Any network restricted to uplink interfaces".

So should not we have it really bound to the "Uplink Interface" instead ? maybe just a typo as it seems that when activating the uplink things it is changed to "Bound to Uplink interface"

thx

Greetings

Would it be clearer if I changed the comment to "restricted to default interface(s)"?

The comment should not change, only the interface the object is bound to.

Frank, that doesn't make sense to me - what does "default interface" mean?

Hmm... I think the user would have to set which interface(s) should be bound to the "Internet" definition... how would the Astaro know how you want that set? I currently create my own definition and set it to suit the situation.

I think this is better than the any stuff... personnaly I create exactly same Internet definition on all of my Astaro... so this does not hurt me to have astaro create it by default... and I think the name Internet is self explanatory... concerning the definition then I think it could be simply:

Internet Access or Wan Access

thx

The idea behind the "Internet" object was that it always is bound to the interface(s) that have the default gateway, since that will be your uplink in most cases. The object is always automatically updated if you move the default gateway to another interface or enable uplink balancing.

The question remains how to express that in a one-line comment so that people know what it is meant for.

"Bound to interface with default gateway" or "Bound to default gateway interface" is how I would say that.
