DESCRIPTION

 

Status

This field displays the current status of each interface. The possible values depend

 

 

on what type of interface it is.

 

 

For port groups:

 

 

Inactive - The port group is disabled.

 

 

Port Group Down - The port group is enabled but not connected.

 

 

Port Group Up - The port group is enabled, and at least one of the physical ports

 

 

associated with it is connected.

 

 

For Ethernet interfaces:

 

 

Port Group Inactive - The Ethernet interface does not have any physical ports

 

 

associated with it.

 

 

Inactive - The Ethernet interface is disabled.

 

 

Down - The Ethernet interface is enabled but not connected.

 

 

Speed / Duplex - The Ethernet interface is enabled and connected. This field

 

 

displays the port speed and duplex setting (Full or Half).

 

 

For the auxiliary interface:

 

 

Inactive - The auxiliary interface is disabled.

 

 

Connected - The auxiliary interface is enabled and connected.

 

 

Disconnected - The auxiliary interface is not connected.

 

 

For virtual interfaces, this field always displays Up. If the virtual interface is

 

 

disabled, it does not appear in the list.

 

 

For VLAN and bridge interfaces, this field always displays Up. If the VLAN or bridge

 

 

interface is disabled, it does not appear in the list.

 

 

For PPPoE/PPTP interfaces:

 

 

Connected - The PPPoE/PPTP interface is connected.

 

 

Disconnected - The PPPoE/PPTP interface is not connected.

 

 

If the PPPoE/PPTP interface is disabled, it does not appear in the list.

 

 

 

 

HA Status

This field displays the status of the interface in the virtual router.

 

 

Active - This interface is the master interface in the virtual router.

 

 

Stand-By- This interface is a backup interface in the virtual router.

 

 

Fault - This VRRP group is not functioning in the virtual router right now. For

 

 

example, this might happen if the interface is down.

 

 

n/a - Device HA is not active on the interface.

 

 

 

 

Zone

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

 

 

 

 

IP Addr/Netmask

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

 

 

 

 

Renew/Dial

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 the Connect icon 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.
