Page 14: Configuring The Ethernet Interace
22 September 2009 4.2.2 Configuring The Ethernet Interace The Ethernet configuration determines how devices connected to the LAN side of router will be addressed, and what the actual address of this router will be on the LAN. Figure 9 Media Type – Determines the type of Ethernet connection. Auto allows router to determine what the connection is. This setting is appropriate for most cases. - Page 15 Default Gateway – The Default Gateway is the address of a device that the router will use to reach remote networks or servers. In many cases this will be a firewall address. In a normal situation where the Z4300 is acting as a fringe router and is expected to pass incoming Ethernet traffic through to the network, this field should be left blank.
