DESCRIPTION

Zone

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

 

 

IP Addr/

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

Netmask

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.

 

Dynamic - This is the auxiliary interface.

 

 

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 the auxiliary interface or 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.
