Interface Properties |
|
|
|
Interface Type | This field is configurable for the OPT interface only. Select to which type of network |
| you will connect this interface. When you select internal or external the rest of the |
| screen’s options automatically adjust to correspond. The ZyWALL automatically adds |
| default route and SNAT settings for traffic it routes from internal interfaces to external |
| interfaces; for example LAN to WAN traffic. |
| internal is for connecting to a local network. Other corresponding configuration |
| options: DHCP server and DHCP relay. The ZyWALL automatically adds default SNAT |
| settings for traffic flowing from this interface to an external interface. |
| external is for connecting to an external network (like the Internet). The ZyWALL |
| automatically adds this interface to the default WAN trunk. |
| For general, the rest of the screen’s options do not automatically adjust and you must |
| manually configure a policy route to add routing and SNAT settings for the interface. |
|
|
Interface Name | Specify a name for the interface. It can use alphanumeric characters, hyphens, and |
| underscores, and it can be up to 11 characters long. |
|
|
Port | This is the name of the Ethernet interface’s physical port. |
|

Description | Enter a description of this interface. It is not used elsewhere. You can use |
| alphanumeric and ()+/:=?!*#@$_%- characters, and it can be up to 60 characters |
| long. |
IP Address | These IP address fields configure an IPv4 IP address on the interface itself. If you |
Assignment | change this IP address on the interface, you may also need to change a related |
| address object for the network connected to the interface. For example, if you use this |
| screen to change the IP address of your LAN interface, you should also change the |
| corresponding LAN subnet address object. |
|
|
Get | This option appears when Interface Type is external or general. Select this to make |
Automatically | the interface a DHCP client and automatically get the IP address, subnet mask, and |
| gateway address from a DHCP server. |
