Chapter 6 Interfaces
6.1.2 Relationships Between Interfaces
In the ZyWALL, interfaces are usually created on top of other interfaces. Only Ethernet interfaces are created directly on top of the physical ports (or port groups). The relationships between interfaces are explained in the following table.
Table 14 Relationships Between Different Types of Interfaces
INTERFACE | REQUIRED PORT / INTERFACE |
auxiliary interface | auxiliary port |
|
|
port group | physical port |
|
|
Ethernet interface | physical port |
| port group |
|
|
VLAN interface | Ethernet interface |
|
|
bridge interface | Ethernet interface* |
| WLAN interface* |
| VLAN interface* |
|
|
PPPoE/PPTP interface (ZyWALL | Ethernet interface* |
USG 300 and above) | VLAN interface* |
| |
| bridge interface |
|
|
PPPoE/PPTP interface (ZyWALL | WAN1, WAN2, OPT* |
USG 200 and below models) |
|
|
|
virtual interface |
|
(virtual Ethernet interface) | Ethernet interface* |
(virtual VLAN interface) | VLAN interface* |
(virtual bridge interface) | bridge interface |
|
|
trunk | Ethernet interface |
| Cellular interface |
| VLAN interface |
| bridge interface |
| PPPoE/PPTP interface |
| auxiliary interface |
|
|
*- You cannot set up a PPPoE/PPTP interface, virtual Ethernet interface, or virtual VLAN interface if the underlying interface is a member of a bridge. You also cannot add an Ethernet interface or VLAN interface to a bridge if the member interface has a virtual interface or PPPoE/PPTP interface on top of it.
