11.8 Interface Technical Reference

Here is more detailed information about interfaces on the ZyWALL.

IP Address Assignment

Most interfaces have an IP address and a subnet mask. This information is used to create an entry in the routing table.

Figure 167 Example: Entry in the Routing Table Derived from Interfaces

lan1wan1

Table 70 Example: Routing Table Entries for Interfaces

IP ADDRESS(ES)

DESTINATION

100.100.1.1/16

lan1

 

 

200.200.200.1/24

wan1

 

 

For example, if the ZyWALL gets a packet with a destination address of 100.100.25.25, it routes the packet to interface lan1. If the ZyWALL gets a packet with a destination address of 200.200.200.200, it routes the packet to interface wan1.

In most interfaces, you can enter the IP address and subnet mask manually. In PPPoE/PPTP interfaces, however, the subnet mask is always 255.255.255.255
