| LABEL | DESCRIPTION |
| MTU | Maximum Transmission Unit. Type the maximum size of each data packet, in |
|
| bytes, that can move through this interface. If a larger packet arrives, the |
|
| ZyWALL divides it into smaller fragments. Allowed values are 576 - 1500. |
|
| Usually, this value is 1500. |
|
|
|
| DHCP Settings |
|
|
|
|
| DHCP | Select what type of DHCP service the ZyWALL provides to the network. |
|
| Choices are: |
|
| None - the ZyWALL does not provide any DHCP services. There is already a |
|
| DHCP server on the network. |
|
| DHCP Relay - the ZyWALL routes DHCP requests to one or more DHCP |
|
| servers you specify. The DHCP server(s) may be on another network. |
|
| DHCP Server - the ZyWALL assigns IP addresses and provides subnet mask, |
|
| gateway, and DNS server information to the network. The ZyWALL is the DHCP |
|
| server for the network. |
|
|
|
|
| These fields appear if the ZyWALL is a DHCP Relay. |
|
|
|
| Relay Server 1 | Enter the IP address of a DHCP server for the network. |
|
|
|
| Relay Server 2 | This field is optional. Enter the IP address of another DHCP server for the |
|
| network. |
|
|
|
|
| These fields appear if the ZyWALL is a DHCP Server. |
|
|
|
| IP Pool Start | Enter the IP address from which the ZyWALL begins allocating IP addresses. If |
| Address | you want to assign a static IP address to a specific computer, click Add Static |
|
| DHCP. |
|
| If this field is blank, the Pool Size must also be blank. In this case, the ZyWALL |
|
| can assign every IP address allowed by the interface’s IP address and subnet |
|
| mask, except for the first address (network address), last address (broadcast |
|
| address) and the interface’s IP address. |
|
|
|
| Pool Size | Enter the number of IP addresses to allocate. This number must be at least one |
|
| and is limited by the interface’s Subnet Mask. For example, if the Subnet Mask |
|
| is 255.255.255.0 and IP Pool Start Address is 10.10.10.10, the ZyWALL can |
|
| allocate 10.10.10.10 to 10.10.10.254, or 245 IP addresses. |
|
| If this field is blank, the IP Pool Start Address must also be blank. In this case, |
|
| the ZyWALL can assign every IP address allowed by the interface’s IP address |
|
| and subnet mask, except for the first address (network address), last address |
|
| (broadcast address) and the interface’s IP address. |
|
|
|
| First DNS Server | Specify the IP addresses of a maximum of three DNS servers that the network |
| Second DNS | can use. You can specify these IP addresses two ways. |
| Server | Custom Defined - enter a static IP address |
| Third DNS | |
| From ISP - use the IP address of a DNS server that another interface received | |
| Server | |
| from its DHCP server. | |
|
| |
|
|
|
| First WINS | Type the IP address of the WINS (Windows Internet Naming Service) server |
| Server, Second | that you want to send to the DHCP clients. The WINS server keeps a mapping |
| WINS Server | table of the computer names on your network and the IP addresses that they |
|
| are currently using. |
|
|
|
| Lease time | Specify how long each computer can use the information (especially the IP |
|
| address) before it has to request the information again. Choices are: |
|
| infinite - select this if IP addresses never expire |
|
| days, hours, and minutes - select this to enter how long IP addresses are |
|
| valid. |
