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
