This chapter describes configuration of various network interfaces available on the device.

Global

Common->TCP/IP Settings -> Global In global settings, the following parameters and features are configured:

  • WAN interface (needed for/by DHCP, firewall, NAT, VPN , ...)
    • There may be multiple WAN interfaces configured, in case of Split Access
  • Default gateway
    • The system only has one default gateway. If various routes are needed for different networks, see Static Routing

Eth0, eth1, eth2, ...ethn

'interface IP parameters' 'additional IP-s' 'VLANs (tagged)'

Virtual interfaces

Bridge interfaces

Join two or more interfaces to the same layer

  • STP (Spanning Tree Protocol) - Used to add redundant links to network while ensuring loop-free topology.

Serial PPP interfaces

Any serial interface can be configured to act as an ethernet interface, TCP/IP traffic is sent over serial PPP line
