Crossbar IP

Crossbar IP is a per-user-directed gateway. Instead of comparing the IP packet's destination address to the routing table, the PortMaster 4 looks up the configured crossbar IP address in the routing table to determine the packet's next hop. This affects the packet's routing to the next hop only.

Crossbar IP can come from a user profile or from the IP pool table. When both are used, the crossbar IP setting in the user profile takes precedence over the gateway in the IP pool table.
