VLAN Interfaces Overview
In the ZyWALL, each VLAN is called a VLAN interface. As a router, the ZyWALL
routes traffic between VLAN interfaces, but it does not route traffic within a VLAN
interface. All traffic for each VLAN interface can go through only one Ethernet
interface, though each Ethernet interface can have one or more VLAN interfaces.
Note: Each VLAN interface is created on top of only one Ethernet interface.
Otherwise, VLAN interfaces are similar to other interfaces in many ways. They
have an IP address, subnet mask, and gateway used to make routing decisions.
They restrict bandwidth and packet size. They can provide DHCP services, and
they can verify the gateway is available.

DESCRIPTION
This field is a sequential value, and it is not associated with any interface.
This field displays the name of the interface.
For VLAN interfaces, this field displays
•
the Ethernet interface on which the VLAN interface is created
•
the VLAN ID
For virtual interfaces, this field is blank.
This field displays the current IP address of the interface. If the IP address is
0.0.0.0, the interface does not have an IP address yet.
This screen also shows whether the IP address is a static IP address
(STATIC) or dynamically assigned (DHCP). IP addresses are always static
in virtual interfaces.
