Chapter 3 Interfaces

Configuration Interfaces Private

Subnet Mask

Enter the subnet mask for this interface, using dotted decimal notation (for example 255.255.255.0). The Manager automatically supplies a standard subnet mask appropriate for the IP address you just entered. For example, the IP address 192.168.12.34 is a Class C address, and the standard subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. You can accept this entry or change it. Note that 0.0.0.0 is not allowed.

MAC Address

This is the unique hardware MAC (Media Access Control) address for this interface, displayed in 6-byte hexadecimal notation. You cannot change this address.

Speed

click the drop-down menu button and select the interface speed:

•10 Mbps = Fix the speed at 10 megabits per second (10Base-T networks).

•100 Mbps = Fix the speed at 100 megabits per second (100Base-T networks).

•10/100 auto = Let the VPN 3002 automatically detect and set the appropriate speed, either 10 or 100 Mbps (default). Be sure that the port on the active network device (hub, switch, router, etc.) to which you connect this interface is also set to automatically negotiate the speed. Otherwise, select the appropriate fixed speed.

Duplex

click the drop-down menu button and select the interface transmission mode:

•Auto = Let the VPN 3002 automatically detect and set the appropriate transmission mode, either full or half duplex (default). Be sure that the port on the active network device (hub, switch, router, etc.) to which you connect this interface is also set to automatically negotiate the transmission mode. Otherwise, select the appropriate fixed mode.

•Full-Duplex= Fix the transmission mode as full duplex: transmits and receives at the same time.

•Half-Duplex= Fix the transmission mode as half duplex: transmits or receives, but not at the same time.

Apply/Cancel

To apply your settings to the system and include them in the active configuration, click Apply. The Manager returns to the Configuration Interfaces screen.

Reminder:

To save the active configuration and make it the boot configuration, click the Save Needed icon at the top of the Manager window.

To discard your settings, click Cancel. The Manager returns to the Configuration Interfaces screen.
