Chapter 10 Interface
Table 58 Network > Interface > Bridge > Edit (continued)
LABEL | DESCRIPTION |
Available | This field displays Ethernet interfaces and VLAN interfaces that can become |
| part of the bridge interface. An interface is not available in the following |
| situations: |
| • There is a virtual interface on top of it |
| • It is already used in a different bridge interface |
| Select one, and click the >> arrow to add it to the bridge interface. Each bridge |
| interface can only have one VLAN interface. |
|
|
Member | This field displays the interfaces that are part of the bridge interface. Select one, |
| and click the << arrow to remove it from the bridge interface. |
|
|
IP Address |
|
Assignment |
|
|
|
Get | Select this if this interface is a DHCP client. In this case, the DHCP server |
Automatically | configures the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway automatically. |
|
|
Use Fixed IP | Select this if you want to specify the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway |
Address | manually. |
|
|
IP Address | This field is enabled if you select Use Fixed IP Address. |
| Enter the IP address for this interface. |
|
|
Subnet Mask | This field is enabled if you select Use Fixed IP Address. |
| 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 | This field is enabled if you select Use Fixed IP Address. |
| 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. |

Parameters |
|
|
|
Upstream | Enter the maximum amount of traffic, in kilobits per second, the ZyWALL can |
Bandwidth | send through the interface to the network. Allowed values are 0 - 1048576. |
|
|
Downstream | This is reserved for future use. |
Bandwidth | Enter the maximum amount of traffic, in kilobits per second, the ZyWALL can |
| receive from the network through the interface. Allowed values are 0 - 1048576. |
|
|
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. |
