Enter the number of the VLAN interface. You can use a number from

 

0~4094. See Chapter 52 on page 775 the User’s Guide for the total

 

number of VLANs you can configure on the ZyWALL. For example,

 

vlan0, vlan8, and so on.

 

 

Zone

Select the zone to which the VLAN interface belongs.

Select the Ethernet interface on which the VLAN interface runs.

This field is enabled if you select Use Fixed IP Address.

 

Enter the IP address for this interface.

 

 

Subnet Mask

This field is enabled if you select Use Fixed IP Address.

 

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

This field is enabled if you select Use Fixed IP Address.

 

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.
