Viewing System IP Addresses and IP Performance Statistics

The listed IP addresses may include:

•

•

•

The IP address of the device's LAN (Ethernet) port, called [eth-0]. See Configuring the LAN Ports on page 33 for instructions on configuring this address.

The IP address of the WAN (ADSL line) interface, which your ISP and other external devices use to identify your network. It may be identified in the [Configuration Manager] by the names [ppp-0], [eoa-0], or [ipoa-0], depending on the protocol your device uses to communicate with your ISP. Your ISP may assign the same address each time, or it may change

each time you reconnect.

The loopback IP address, named [lo-0], of [127.0.0.1]. This special address enables the device to keep any data addressed directly to it, rather than route the data through the WAN or LAN ports.

If your device has additional IP-enabled interfaces, the IP addresses of these will also display.
