No, because I carefully never do that, lol.
I didnt do this, this is from someone saying " This is how I think it goes" and changing settings.
Also something to avoid 😉
Random people who don't know the basics, making completely crazy configuration changes... that's a disaster waiting to happen. Imagine if they were doing that on a PCI network or something 😉
They did! we use 2 NICs, one for internet, one for the PoS system so they are "seperated" the best they can be. They stacked and added IP's to the PoS NIC, So all of the PoS were accessing the internet...
Sure, but the internal POS network doesn't have a gateway to some place else inside it, right?
So you don't have a gateway on that network interface.
I dont believe there is a gateway, its just communicating within the PoS and the back office.
If that were the case then I shouldn't be getting this message correct?
Shouldn't. The warning seems like it would be genuine - it's warning you that someone messed up the configuration.
When I used to have these type of setups, I would set the gateway to the POS and set the metric to 10 for either that NIC or that subnet. That's assuming that you're talking directly to the one and only POS and nothing else on that network. While you don't have to alter the metric, it helped stop Windows from wigging out seeing two NICs or two IPs and two gateways on one NIC. If you experiment, you can always put it back. Different VASCs and different brands & processors specify what's ok with them. Because PCI.
