3.8.4 Configure Network Interfaces
The network interfaces defined as part of the initial, basic setup include the WAN/LAN/VLAN
interfaces, DHCP, and the Local Gateway (LGW) mode.
3.8.4.1 WAN/LAN
Go to the Network > WAN/LAN menu (Figure 3-16) to configure the WAN interface. The WAN
interface is an external communication portal (Internet connection) between the eNB's Network
Management System (NMS) – in most cases, the CloudCore OMC – and the Mobility Management
Entity (MME). If not using CloudCore, the eNB's NMS may be a Local OMC or the LTE NMS.
Although not shown in the Network > WAN/LAN sub-menu label, the WAN interface supports the
configuration of multiple Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs), which can be used by single-carrier
eNBs only. The Network > WAN/LAN fields are described in Table 3-1.
