DESCRIPTION

 

Connectivity Check

The interface can regularly check the connection to the gateway you specified

 

 

to make sure it is still available. You specify how often the interface checks the

 

 

connection, how long to wait for a response before the attempt is a failure, and

 

 

how many consecutive failures are required before the ZyWALL stops routing to

 

 

the gateway. The ZyWALL resumes routing to the gateway the first time the

 

 

gateway passes the connectivity check.

DHCP Setting

The DHCP settings are available for the OPT, LAN and DMZ interfaces.

 

 

 

 

DHCP

Select what type of DHCP service the ZyWALL provides to the network.

 

 

Choices are:

 

 

None - the ZyWALL does not provide any DHCP services. There is already a

 

 

DHCP server on the network.

 

 

DHCP Relay - the ZyWALL routes DHCP requests to one or more DHCP

 

 

servers you specify. The DHCP server(s) may be on another network.

 

 

DHCP Server - the ZyWALL assigns IP addresses and provides subnet mask,

 

 

gateway, and DNS server information to the network. The ZyWALL is the DHCP

 

 

server for the network.

 

 

 

 

 

These fields appear if the ZyWALL is a DHCP Relay.

 

 

 

 

Relay Server 1

Enter the IP address of a DHCP server for the network.

 

 

 

 

Relay Server 2

This field is optional. Enter the IP address of another DHCP server for the

 

 

network.
