6:Network Settings
The Network Settings show the status of the Ethernet or WLAN interface/link and let you configure the settings on the device. Interface settings are related to the configuration of the IP and related protocols. Link settings are related to the physical link connection, which carries the IP traffic.
The PremierWave XN contains two network interfaces. Only one interface may be active at a time; however, if bridging is enabled, both interfaces will be activated and controlled by the bridging subsystem.The Ethernet interface is also called interface 1 or eth0, and the WLAN interface is called interface 2 or wlan0.
Notes:
Some settings require a reboot to take effect. These settings are noted below.
