Physical Interfaces
Physical interfaces must be assigned to a Zone to allow for configuration of Access Rules to govern
inbound and outbound traffic. Security zones are bound to each physical interface where it acts as a
conduit for inbound and outbound traffic. If there is no interface, traffic cannot access the zone or exit the
zone.
The first two interfaces, X0(LAN) and X1(WAN) are fixed interfaces, permanently bound to the Trusted
and Untrusted Zone types. The remaining Interfaces can be configured and bound to any Zone type,
depending on your SonicWALL:
•
SonicWALL PRO 3060/PRO 4060 includes four available interfaces, X2, X3, X4, and X5.
•
SonicWALL PRO 2040 includes two available interfaces, X2 and X3.
•
SonicWALL PRO TZ 170 includes one available interface, OPT.
Note:
The Untrusted Zone type can only have two members, one of which is the fixed interface, X1.
Interface Settings
The Interface Settings table lists the following information for each interface:
Name - listed as X0, X1, X2, X3, X4, and X5 or LAN, WAN, or OPT/DMZ depending on your SonicWALL
model.
Zone - LAN, DMZ/OPT and WAN are listed by default. As zones are configured, the names are listed in
this column.
IP Address - IP address assigned to the interface.
Subnet Mask - the network mask assigned to the subnet.
IP Assignment - you can select from DHCP or Static for LAN. For WAN, you can select from DHCP,
Static, PPPoE, PPTP, or L2TP.
Status - the link status and speed.
Comment - any user-defined comments.
Configure - click the Notepad icon to display the Edit Interface window, which allows you to configure
the settings for the specified interface.
Inteface Traffic Statistics
The Interface Traffic Statistics table lists received and transmitted information for all configured
interfaces. The following information is displayed for all SonicWALL interfaces:
•
Rx Unicast Packets - indicates the number of two-way, point-to-point communications received by
the interface.
•
Rx Broadcast Packets - indicates the number of multipoint communications received by the inter-
face.
•
RX Bytes - indicates the volume of data, in bytes, received by the interface.
•
Tx Unicast Packets - indicates the number of two-way, point-to-point communications received by
the interface.
•
Tx Broadcast Bytes - indicates the number of mutlipoint communications received by the interface.
•
Tx Bytes - indicates the volume of data, in bytes, transmitted by the interface.
To clear the current statistics, click the Clear Statistics button at the top right of the Network>Interfaces
page.
