Internal LAN connections (LAN 0 and LAN 1)

The VPN Router 1010, 1050, and 1100 have two internal LANs built in:

LAN 0 is the private LAN and also the LAN to use for Web management.

LAN 1 defaults to a public LAN. The software refers to the LAN 1 port as slot 1, interface 1.

The VPN Router 1010 has a single autonegotiating 10/100 Ethernet port on LAN

0.The VPN Router 1050 and the VPN Router 1100 have an internal four-port autonegotiating 10/100 Ethernet switch for LAN 0.

Note: The LAN 0 statistics for the VPN Router 1050 and 1100 provide accurate information for reports and troubleshooting, but the LAN 0 interface always reports a 100 Mb/s full-duplex connection regardless of the actual connection speed. For example, if one of the LAN 0 ports on a VPN Router 1050 is connected to a hub, the connection runs at half duplex, but the LAN 0 statistics page reports a full-duplex connection.
