DESCRIPTION
Select this to enable this interface. Clear this to disable this interface.
This field is read-only. This is the name of the Ethernet interface.
Enter a description of this interface. It is not used elsewhere. You can
use alphanumeric and
()+/:=?!*#@$_%-
up to 60 characters long.
These IP address fields configure an IP address on the interface itself.
If you change this IP address on the interface, you may also need to
change a related address object for the network connected to the
interface. For example, if you use this screen to change the IP address
of your LAN interface, you should also change the corresponding LAN
subnet address object.
Select this to make the interface a DHCP client and automatically get
the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address from a DHCP
server.
You should not select this if the interface is assigned to a VRRP group.
See Chapter 36 on page
Select this if you want to specify the IP address, subnet mask, and
gateway manually.
This field is enabled if you select Use Fixed IP Address.
Enter the IP address for this interface.
This field is enabled if you select Use Fixed IP Address.
Enter the subnet mask of this interface in dot decimal notation. The
subnet mask indicates what part of the IP address is the same for all
computers in the network.
This field is enabled if you select Use Fixed IP Address.
Enter the IP address of the gateway. The ZyWALL sends packets to the
gateway when it does not know how to route the packet to its
destination. The gateway should be on the same network as the
interface.
Enter the priority of the gateway (if any) on this interface. The
ZyWALL decides which gateway to use based on this priority. The
lower the number, the higher the priority. If two or more gateways
have the same priority, the ZyWALL uses the one that was configured
first.
Enter the maximum amount of traffic, in kilobits per second, the
ZyWALL can send through the interface to the network. Allowed values
are 0 - 1048576.
