Chapter 6 Interfaces

Table 16 interface General Commands: Basic Properties and IP Address Assignment (continued)

COMMAND

DESCRIPTION

show interface send statistics interval

Displays the interval for how often the ZyWALL refreshes the sent

 

packet statistics for the interfaces.

 

 

show interface summary all

Displays basic information about the interfaces.

show interface summary all status

Displays the connection status of the interfaces.

[no] interface interface_name

Creates the specified interface if necessary and enters sub-command

 

mode. The no command deletes the specified interface.

[no] description description

Specifies the description for the specified interface. The no command

 

clears the description.

 

description: You can use alphanumeric and ()+/:=?!*#@$_%-

 

characters, and it can be up to 60 characters long.

[no] downstream <0..1048576>

This is reserved for future use.

 

Specifies the downstream bandwidth for the specified interface. The no

 

command sets the downstream bandwidth to 1048576.

exit

Leaves the sub-command mode.

[no] ip address dhcp

Makes the specified interface a DHCP client; the DHCP server gives the

 

specified interface its IP address, subnet mask, and gateway. The no

 

command makes the IP address static IP address for the specified

 

interface. (See the next command to set this IP address.)

 

 

[no] ip address ip subnet_mask

Assigns the specified IP address and subnet mask to the specified

 

interface. The no command clears the IP address and the subnet mask.

[no] ip gateway ip

Adds the specified gateway using the specified interface. The no

 

command removes the gateway.

ip gateway ip metric <0..15>

Sets the priority (relative to every gateway on every interface) for the

 

specified gateway. The lower the number, the higher the priority.

 

 

[no] metric <0..15>

Sets the tunnel, PPPoE/PPTP, or cellular interface’s priority relative to

 

other interfaces. The lower the number, the higher the priority.

 

 

[no] mss <536..1460>

Specifies the maximum segment size (MSS) the interface is to use. MSS

 

is the largest amount of data, specified in bytes, that the interface can

 

handle in a single, unfragmented piece. The no command has the

 

interface use its default MSS.

[no] mtu <576..1500>

Specifies the Maximum Transmission Unit, which is the maximum

 

number of bytes in each packet moving through this interface. The

 

ZyWALL divides larger packets into smaller fragments. The no

 

command resets the MTU to 1500.

[no] shutdown

Deactivates the specified interface. The no command activates it.

traffic-prioritize {tcp-ackcontent-

Applies traffic priority when the interface sends TCP-ACK traffic, traffic

filterdnsipsec-vpnssl-vpn}

for querying the content filter, traffic for resolving domain names, or

bandwidth <0..1048576> priority

encrypted traffic for an IPSec or SSL VPN tunnel. It also sets how much

<1..7> [maximize-bandwidth-usage];

bandwidth the traffic can use and can turn on maximize bandwidth

 

usage.

traffic-prioritize {tcp-ackcontent-

Turns off traffic priority settings for when the interface sends the

filterdnsipsec-vpnssl-vpn}

specified type of traffic.

deactivate

 

[no] upstream <0..1048576>

Specifies the upstream bandwidth for the specified interface. The no

 

command sets the upstream bandwidth to 1048576.

interface interface_name ipv6

Creates the specified IPv6 interface if necessary and enters sub-

 

command mode.

 

 

address ipv6_addr_prefix

Sets an IPv6 address with prefix for the interface.

gateway ipv6_addr metric <0..15>

Sets the specified IPv6 address’s metric.
