General Points on Network Connection Configuration

4.3.1.1 Network Interfaces
Both Compact and Premium edition servers have three network interfaces. Depending on the
server edition and version, network interfaces may be labelled or not on the back panel.
Anyway, we call in this document LAN1 the Ethernet interface eth0, which corresponds to the
left-most back-panel RJ-45 port. LAN1 is the eth0 default name.
All three interfaces can equally be used for any network connection.
At the first start, only interface LAN1 exists by default, as an Ethernet LAN connection. You
cannot delete this connection or modify its type, but you can modify all other settings.
4.3.1.2 Network Connection Types
When creating a new network connection, you must select its type among one of the five
following options:
- WAN ADSL PPPoE
- Ethernet LAN
- Ethernet Bridge
- Ethernet LAN DMZ
- Ethernet LAN Alias
These five options are further described in next sections.
