# New-OPNSenseGateway

## SYNOPSIS
Creates a new gateway on an OPNSense firewall.

## SYNTAX

```
New-OPNSenseGateway -Name <String> -Interface <String> -IPv4Address <String> [-Description <String>] [-Priority <Int32>]
                    [-Weight <Int32>] [-Disabled <Boolean>] [-Monitor <Boolean>] [-MonitorIP <String>] [-WhatIf] [-Confirm]
```

## DESCRIPTION
The New-OPNSenseGateway cmdlet creates a new gateway on an OPNSense firewall.

## EXAMPLES

### Example 1: Create a new gateway
```powershell
New-OPNSenseGateway -Name "Backup_WAN" -Interface "opt1" -IPv4Address "203.0.113.1" -Description "Backup WAN Gateway"
```

This example creates a new gateway named "Backup_WAN" on the opt1 interface with the specified IPv4 address.

### Example 2: Create a new gateway with monitoring
```powershell
New-OPNSenseGateway -Name "ISP2" -Interface "wan2" -IPv4Address "198.51.100.1" -Description "Secondary ISP" -Monitor $true -MonitorIP "198.51.100.254"
```

This example creates a new gateway with monitoring enabled and a specific IP to monitor.
