Chapter 5 – Configuring Ethernet Interfaces

Virtual Interfaces

Use virtual interfaces when you have an Ethernet port that has multiple "real" IP addresses assigned to it, e.g. as with a port provided by an an Internet Service Provider.

Figure 44: Creating an Virtual Interface

The only new parameter is the virtual interface descriptor, which must be a numeric value. As an example a virtual interface numbered 0 on eth1 appears as eth1:0 in interface descriptions and routing tables.

Virtual Lan Interfaces

Click the link “Add Virtual Lan Interface” when you want to create a VLAN interface.

Figure 45: Creating an Virtual Lan Interface

The only new parameter is the vlan id, which must be a numeric value between 1 and 4094. The vlan id will be changed automatically as 4 digits (prefixed with 0) if the input is less than 4 digits. For example, if the input is 2, it will be automatically changed to 0002.
