LABEL DESCRIPTION
Interface
Properties
Interface
Name
This field is read-only. It displays the name of the virtual interface,
which 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.
