Chapter 5 Configuration Basics

 

These are other features you should configure before you configure the main

 

screen(s) for this feature.

 

If you did not configure one of the prerequisites first, you can often select an

PREREQUISITES

option to create a new object. After you create the object you return to the main

screen to finish configuring the feature.

 

 

You may not have to configure everything in the list of prerequisites. For

 

example, you do not have to create a schedule for a policy route unless time is

 

one of the criterion.

 

There are two uses for this.

 

These are other features you should usually configure or check right after you

 

configure the main screen(s) for this feature. For example, you should usually

WHERE USED

create a policy route for a VPN tunnel.

 

You have to delete the references to this feature before you can delete any

 

settings. For example, you have to delete (or modify) all the policy routes that

 

refer to a VPN tunnel before you can delete the VPN tunnel.

 

 

Example: This provides a simple example to show you how to configure this feature. The example is usually based on the network topology in Figure 43 on page 114.

"PREQUISITES or WHERE USED does not appear if there are no prerequisites or references in other features to this one. For example, no other features reference DDNS entries, so there is no WHERE USED entry.

5.4.2Interface

See Section 5.3 on page 112 for background information.

"When you create an interface, no security is applied on it until you assign it to a zone.

Most of the features that use interfaces support Ethernet, VLAN, bridge, and PPPoE/PPTP interfaces.

MENU ITEM(S)

Network > Interface (except Network > Interface > Trunk)

PREREQUISITES

WHERE USED

Zones, trunks, IPSec VPN, device HA, DDNS, policy routes, static routes, HTTP

redirect, virtual server, application patrol
