DESCRIPTION
This field is read-only if you are editing an existing VLAN interface. Enter the
number of the VLAN interface. You can use a number from 0~4094. See
Chapter 52 on page 739 for the total number of VLANs you can configure on the
ZyWALL. For example, vlan0, vlan8, and so on.
Select the Ethernet interface on which the VLAN interface runs.
Enter the VLAN ID. This 12-bit number uniquely identifies each VLAN. Allowed
values are 1 - 4094. (0 and 4095 are reserved.)
Enter a description of this interface. It is not used elsewhere. You can use
alphanumeric and
()+/:=?!*#@$_%-
characters long.
Select this if this interface is a DHCP client. In this case, the DHCP server
configures the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway automatically.
You should not select this if the interface is assigned to a VRRP group. See
Chapter 35 on page 557.
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.
This is reserved for future use.
Enter the maximum amount of traffic, in kilobits per second, the ZyWALL can
receive from the network through the interface. Allowed values are 0 - 1048576.
Maximum Transmission Unit. Type the maximum size of each data packet, in
bytes, that can move through this interface. If a larger packet arrives, the
ZyWALL divides it into smaller fragments. Allowed values are 576 - 1500.
Usually, this value is 1500.
The ZyWALL can regularly check the connection to the gateway you specified
to make sure it is still available. You specify how often to check the connection,
how long to wait for a response before the attempt is a failure, and how many
consecutive failures are required before the ZyWALL stops routing to the
gateway. The ZyWALL resumes routing to the gateway the first time the
gateway passes the connectivity check.
