DESCRIPTION

Interface Status

If an Ethernet interface does not have any physical ports associated with it, its entry is

 

displayed in light gray text.

 

 

Expand/Close

Click this button to show or hide statistics for all the virtual interfaces on top of the

 

Ethernet interfaces.

 

 

Name

This field displays the name of each interface. If there is an Expand icon (plus-sign) next

 

to the name, click this to look at the status of virtual interfaces on top of this interface.

 

 

Port

This field displays the physical port number.

 

 

Status

This field displays the current status of each interface. The possible values depend on what

 

type of interface it is.

 

For Ethernet interfaces:

 

Inactive - The Ethernet interface is disabled.

 

Down - The Ethernet interface is enabled but not connected.

 

Speed / Duplex - The Ethernet interface is enabled and connected. This field displays the

 

port speed and duplex setting (Full or Half).

 

For cellular (3G) interfaces, see Section 6.10 on page 96 the Web Help for the status that

 

can appear.

 

For virtual interfaces, this field always displays Up. If the virtual interface is disabled, it

 

does not appear in the list.

 

For VLAN and bridge interfaces, this field always displays Up. If the VLAN or bridge

 

interface is disabled, it does not appear in the list.

 

For PPP interfaces:

 

Connected - The PPP interface is connected.

 

Disconnected - The PPP interface is not connected.

 

If the PPP interface is disabled, it does not appear in the list.

 

 

Zone

This field displays the zone to which the interface is assigned.

 

 

IP Addr/Netmask

This field displays the current IP address and subnet mask assigned to the interface. If the

 

IP address and subnet mask are 0.0.0.0, the interface is disabled or did not receive an IP

 

address and subnet mask via DHCP.

 

If this interface is a member of an active virtual router, this field displays the IP address it

 

is currently using. This is either the static IP address of the interface (if it is the master) or

 

the management IP address (if it is a backup).

 

 

IP Assignment

This field displays how the interface gets its IP address.

 

Static - This interface has a static IP address.

 

DHCP Client - This interface gets its IP address from a DHCP server.

 

 

Services

This field lists which services the interface provides to the network. Examples include

 

DHCP relay, DHCP server, DDNS, RIP, and OSPF. This field displays n/a if the interface

 

does not provide any services to the network.

 

 

Action

Use this field to get or to update the IP address for the interface. Click Renew to send a

 

new DHCP request to a DHCP server. Click Connect to try to connect a PPPoE/PPTP

 

interface. If the interface cannot use one of these ways to get or to update its IP address,

 

this field displays n/a.
