LABEL | DESCRIPTION |
Virtual Interface Properties | |
|
|
Interface Name | This field is |
| automatically derived from the underlying Ethernet interface, VLAN interface, or |
| bridge interface. |
|
|
Description | Enter a description of this interface. It is not used elsewhere. You can use |
| alphanumeric and ()+/:=?!*#@$_%- characters, and it can be up to 60 |
| characters long. |
IP Address Assignment | |
|
|
IP Address | Enter the IP address for this interface. |
|
|
Subnet Mask | Enter the subnet mask of this interface in dot decimal notation. The subnet |
| mask indicates what part of the IP address is the same for all computers in the |
| network. |
|
|
Gateway | Enter the IP address of the gateway. The ZyWALL sends packets to the |
| gateway when it does not know how to route the packet to its destination. The |
| gateway should be on the same network as the interface. |
|
|
Metric | Enter the priority of the gateway (if any) on this interface. The ZyWALL decides |
| which gateway to use based on this priority. The lower the number, the higher |
| the priority. If two or more gateways have the same priority, the ZyWALL uses |
| the one that was configured first. |
