The following controls and fields are displayed in the Edit Network Interface window:
Field | Description |
|
|
Enable Interface | Select to enable this network interface. |
Configure automatically via DHCP Configure the network interface to use a DHCP server on the network to obtain its IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address.
Configure using these settings | Manually specify the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address for |
| the network interface. |
IP address | The IP address manually assigned to the network interface. |
Subnet mask | The |
| interface. |
Gateway | The |
| interface. |
Hostname | The host name assigned to the appliance. If you change the hostname |
| value and are using a DHCP server for IP configuration, the appliance |
| uses the new hostname until the next time it renews its IP address |
| license and requests that the DHCP server use the hostname you |
| entered as the appliance hostname. |
NAT proxy | The name or IP address used by a network address translation (NAT) |
| Proxy server in your network to let users connect to the appliance from |
| outside the firewall. This address is included in |
| notifications generated by the appliance instead of the IP address used |
| to identify the appliance within the firewall. Recipients outside the |
| firewall can click on the link in the |
| NOTE: A NAT Proxy Name is needed only if your appliances are |
| behind a NAT Proxy firewall. If you are not using a NAT Proxy, leave |
| this field blank. |
Speed and duplex | Force the network interface to use specific speed and duplex settings, or |
| configure the interface to |
MTU | The Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU), the largest physical packet |
| size, measured in bytes, that a network can transmit. Messages larger |
| than the MTU are divided into smaller packets before being sent. Every |
| network has a different MTU set by the network administrator. Ideally, |
| the MTU should be the same as the smallest MTU of all the networks |
| between your machine and the final destination of a message. Messages |
| larger than one of the intervening MTUs are broken up or fragmented, |
| which slows transmission speeds. |
