Chapter 8 WAN Screens

8.11 WAN MAC Address

Every Ethernet device has a unique MAC (Media Access Control) address. The MAC address is assigned at the factory and consists of six pairs of hexadecimal characters, for example, 00:A0:C5:00:00:02.

You can configure the WAN port's MAC address by either using the factory default or cloning the MAC address from a computer on your LAN. Once it is successfully configured, the address will be copied to the "rom" file (ZyNOS configuration file). It will not change unless you change the setting or upload a different "rom" file.

8.12 WAN 1

To change your ZyWALL's WAN 1 ISP, IP and MAC settings, click NETWORK > WAN > WAN 1. The screen differs by the encapsulation.

"The WAN 1 and WAN 2 IP addresses of a ZyWALL with multiple WAN interfaces must be on different subnets.

8.12.1WAN Ethernet Encapsulation

For ISPs (such as Telstra) that send UDP heartbeat packets to verify that the customer is still online, please create a WAN-to-WAN/ZyWALLfirewall rule for those packets. Contact your ISP to find the correct port number.

The screen shown next is for Ethernet encapsulation.
