LABEL	DESCRIPTION
Interface Properties
Interface Name	This field is read-only. It displays the name of the virtual interface, which is
	automatically derived from the underlying Ethernet interface, VLAN interface, or bridge
	interface.
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
Assignment
IP Address	Enter the IP address for this interface.
Subnet Mask	Enter the subnet mask of this interface in dot decimal notation. The subnet mask
	indicates what part of the IP address is the same for all computers in the network.
Gateway	Enter the IP address of the gateway. The ZyWALL sends packets to the gateway when it
	does not know how to route the packet to its destination. The gateway should be on the
	same network as the interface.
Metric	Enter the priority of the gateway (if any) on this interface. The ZyWALL decides which
	gateway to use based on this priority. The lower the number, the higher the priority. If
	two or more gateways have the same priority, the ZyWALL uses the one that was
	configured first.
Interface
Parameters
Egress	Enter the maximum amount of traffic, in kilobits per second, the ZyWALL can send
Bandwidth	through the interface to the network. Allowed values are 0 - 1048576.
