# Add a Gateway

To add a RAS Secure Gateway:

1. Navigate to **Infrastructure** > **Secure Gateways**.
2. In the right pane, choose **Add** from the ellipsis menu. The **Gateway - Add new** wizard opens.
3. Enter the server FQDN or IP address or click **Browse AD** to select a server from the list. To resolve IP address to FQDN or vice versa, click **Resolve IP** or **Resolve Name**.
4. Click **Next**.
5. Select the gateway mode from the **Mode** drop down menu (Normal or Forwarding).
6. If you selected the **Forwarding** mode in the previous step, select the destination gateway in the **Forward to** drop-down list. You can also select a specific IP address in the **On IP** drop-down list if the Gateway server has more than one.
7. Add an optional description for this Gateway.
8. Select the **Enable User Portal** option to enable the RAS User Portal support (a browser-based client that can be used to connect to Parallels RAS and launch published resources).
9. Select the **Enable firewall rules** to automatically configure the firewall on the server hosting the gateway.
10. Click **Next**.
11. Review the settings and click **Create** to add the Gateway to the Site.
