10.1.5 Ping Check Settings

The interface can regularly ping the gateway you specified (see
make sure it is still available. You specify how often the interface pings the gateway, how long
to wait for a response before the attempt is a failure, and how many consecutive failures are
required before the ZyWALL stops routing to the gateway. The ZyWALL resumes routing to
the gateway the first time the gateway acknowledges the ping.

10.1.6 Relationships Between Interfaces

In the ZyWALL, interfaces are usually created on top of other interfaces. Only Ethernet
interfaces are created directly on top of the physical ports (or port groups). The relationships
between interfaces are explained in the following table.

trunk
* - You cannot set up a PPPoE/PPTP interface, virtual Ethernet interface or virtual VLAN interface
if the underlying interface is a member of a bridge. You also cannot add an Ethernet interface
or VLAN interface to a bridge if the member interface has a virtual interface or PPPoE/PPTP
interface on top of it.
