DESCRIPTION

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.

 

 

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.

DHCP Setting

 

 

 

DHCP

Select what type of DHCP service the ZyWALL provides to the

 

network. Choices are:

 

None - the ZyWALL does not provide any DHCP services. There is

 

already a DHCP server on the network.

 

DHCP Relay - the ZyWALL routes DHCP requests to one or more

 

DHCP servers you specify. The DHCP server(s) may be on another

 

network.

 

DHCP Server - the ZyWALL assigns IP addresses and provides

 

subnet mask, gateway, and DNS server information to the network.

 

The ZyWALL is the DHCP server for the network.

 

 

 

These fields appear if the ZyWALL is a DHCP Relay.

 

 

Relay Server 1

Enter the IP address of a DHCP server for the network.

 

 

Relay Server 2

This field is optional. Enter the IP address of another DHCP server for

 

the network.
