DESCRIPTION

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

EXAMPLES

Example 1: Create a new gateway

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.
