	Viewing Your EOA Setup
Field	Description
Interface Sec Type	This field indicates the type of security protections in
	effect on the interface ([Public], [Private], or [DMZ]).
	A [Public] interface connects to the Internet (IPoA
	interfaces are typically public). Packets received on
	a public interface are subject to the most restrictive
	set of firewall protections defined in the software.
	A [Private] interface connects to your LAN, such as the
	Ethernet interface. Packets received on a private interface
	are subject to a less restrictive set of protections, because
	they originate within the network.
	The term [DMZ] (de-militarized zone), in Internet
	networking terms, refers to computers that are available
	for both public and in-network accesses (such as a
	company's public Web server). Packets incoming on
	a DMZ interface - whether from a LAN or external source
	- are subject to a level of protection that is in between
	those for public and private interfaces.
Lower interface	EOA interfaces are defined in software, and then
	associated with lower - level software and hardware
	structures (at the lowest level, they are associated
	with a physical port - the WAN port). This field should
	reflect an interface name defined in the next lower level
	of software over which the EOA interface will operate.
	This will be an ATM VC interface, such as [aal5-0],
	as described in Configuring the ATM Virtual Circuit.
Config IP Address	The IP address and network mask you want to assign
Netmask	to the interface. If the interface will be used for bridging
	with your ISP and you will not be using the ADSL
	Barricade as a router on your LAN, then you do not need to
	specify IP information. If you enable DHCP for this
	interface, then the Configured IP address will serve only as
	a request to the DHCP server. The actual address that is
	assigned by the ISP may differ if this address is not
	available.
Use DHCP	When [Enable], this setting instructs the device to accept
	IP information assigned dynamically by your ISP's DHCP
	server. If the interface will be used for bridging with your
	ISP and you will not be routing data through it, leave this
	checkbox unselected.
