Managing the Switch
LAN/WAN Interfaces
Interfaces
Lists the Management IP Address, LAN/WAN port, and LAN card.
IP Address
Enter an IP address for each interface on the Switch, including the LAN port. The Switch uses these IP addresses for tunnel creation. The IP Address consists of 32 bits, which are written as four octets in
192.168.34.21
You must supply the interface IP Address configuration information, not the Management IP Address that you already configured through the initial IP Address configuration.
Subnet Mask
The Subnet Mask defines how many bits of the IP Address represent the network the device is on and how many bits represent the host’s ID on the network.
The device uses the Subnet Mask to determine which IP Addresses are directly reachable on the network and which are only reachable through a gateway. A sample IP Address is 10.2.3.3 with a Subnet Mask of 255.255.0.0. This indicates that all hosts with addresses 10.2.n.n are directly reachable.
Default Gateway
If the routing table contains no specific route to the desired location, the Default Gateway packets are routed onto the private network.
Type
The default configuration assigns the Management LAN interface as Private and the LAN card interface as Public.
