DESCRIPTION

Interface

 

Parameters

 

 

 

Egress

Enter the maximum amount of traffic, in kilobits per second, the ZyWALL can

Bandwidth

send through the interface to the network. Allowed values are 0 - 1048576.

 

 

Ingress

This is reserved for future use.

Bandwidth

Enter the maximum amount of traffic, in kilobits per second, the ZyWALL can

 

receive from the network through the interface. Allowed values are 0 - 1048576.

 

 

MTU

Maximum Transmission Unit. Type the maximum size of each data packet, in

 

bytes, that can move through this interface. If a larger packet arrives, the

 

ZyWALL divides it into smaller fragments. Allowed values are 576 - 1500.

 

Usually, this value is 1500.

 

 

DHCP Setting

 

 

 

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.

 

 

 

These fields appear if the ZyWALL is a DHCP Server.

 

 

IP Pool Start

Enter the IP address from which the ZyWALL begins allocating IP addresses. If

Address

you want to assign a static IP address to a specific computer, click Add Static

 

DHCP.

 

If this field is blank, the Pool Size must also be blank. In this case, the ZyWALL

 

can assign every IP address allowed by the interface’s IP address and subnet

 

mask, except for the first address (network address), last address (broadcast

 

address) and the interface’s IP address.

 

 

Pool Size

Enter the number of IP addresses to allocate. This number must be at least one

 

and is limited by the interface’s Subnet Mask. For example, if the Subnet Mask

 

is 255.255.255.0 and IP Pool Start Address is 10.10.10.10, the ZyWALL can

 

allocate 10.10.10.10 to 10.10.10.254, or 245 IP addresses.

 

If this field is blank, the IP Pool Start Address must also be blank. In this case,

 

the ZyWALL can assign every IP address allowed by the interface’s IP address

 

and subnet mask, except for the first address (network address), last address

 

(broadcast address) and the interface’s IP address.

 

 

First DNS Server

Specify the IP addresses of a maximum of three DNS servers that the network

Second DNS

can use. The ZyWALL provides these IP addresses to DHCP clients. Use one of

Server

the following ways to specify these IP addresses.

Third DNS

Custom Defined - enter a static IP address.

Server

From ISP - select the DNS server that another interface received from its DHCP

 

 

server.

 

ZyWALL - the ZyWALL uses the IP address of this interface and works as a

 

DNS relay.
