Static Route Entry - Appliance vs Full Gaia

Hi. Currently we have a 1450 appliance in a serviced office. We are going to swap it out for a 4000 appliance. We have 1 internal interface that's the default gateway of the PCs. Its IP is 10.10.10.1. Looking at the routing table, any traffic for the subnet 10.10.10.0/24 is forwarded to the same interface (LAN1; IP 10.10.10.1)

On the full version of Gaia I know if I put in the next hop as 10.10.10.1 I will get an error saying that the IP is already taken by the FW interface. I believe all I need to do is to specify the next hop as an interface and the routing should work (I don't know the IP of the switch downstream). I don't have a means of testing until the migration is in progress - am I thinking along the right lines with this?

In general, yes, you would use the interface as the next hop.
Is the gateway also going to have an IP on 10.10.10.0/24?
In which case, that route should not be necessary as it should be added as a result of adding the IP to the interface.

Which does beg the question what purpose this route is serving.

Hi PhoneBoy. Thanks for the reply. Yes, the internal IP of the FW will have the IP of 10.10.10.1/24 so that will be the clients' default gateway.
