The ZyWALL checks this table when it assigns IP addresses. If the computer’s

 

 

MAC address is in the table, the ZyWALL assigns the corresponding IP

 

 

address. Otherwise, the ZyWALL assigns the IP address dynamically using the

 

 

IP Pool Start Address and Pool Size.

click OK in this screen to save your changes.

 

Ping Check

The interface can regularly ping the gateway you specified to make sure it is still

 

 

available. You specify how often the interface pings the gateway, how long to

 

 

wait for a response before the attempt is a failure, and how many consecutive

 

 

failures are required before the ZyWALL stops routing to the gateway. The

 

 

ZyWALL resumes routing to the gateway the first time the gateway

 

 

acknowledges the ping.
