Chapter 5 Network Map and Status Screens Table 8 Status Screen (continued) LABEL DESCRIPTION Secondary DNS server DHCP This field displays the second DNS server address assigned by the ISP. This field displays whether the WAN interface is using a DHCP IP address or a static IP address. Choices are: Client - The WAN interface can obtain an IP address from a DHCP server. LAN Information IP Address IP Subnet Mask IPv6 Link Local Address DHCP None - The WAN interface is using a static IP address. This is the current IP address of the VMG in the LAN. This is the current subnet mask in the LAN. This field displays the current link-local address of the VMG for the LAN interface. This field displays what DHCP services the VMG is providing to the LAN. The possible values are: Server - The VMG is a DHCP server in the LAN. It assigns IP addresses to other computers in the LAN. Relay - The VMG acts as a surrogate DHCP server and relays DHCP requests and responses between the remote server and the clients. Disable - The VMG is not providing any DHCP services to the LAN. MAC Address This shows the LAN Ethernet adapter MAC (Media Access Control) address of your VMG. WLAN 2.4GHz/5GHz Information MAC Address This shows the wireless adapter MAC (Media Access Control) address of the wireless interface. Status This displays whether the WLAN is activated. SSID This is the descriptive name used to identify the VMG in a wireless LAN. Channel This is the channel number used by the wireless interface now. Security This displays the type of security mode the wireless interface is using in the wireless LAN. 802.11 Mode This displays the type of 802.11 mode the wireless interface is using in the wireless LAN. WPS This displays whether WPS is activated on the wireless interface. Security Firewall This displays the firewall's current security level. System Status System Up Time This field displays how long the VMG has been running since it last started up. The VMG starts up when you plug it in, when you restart it (Maintenance > Reboot), or when you reset it. Current Date/ Time This field displays the current date and time in the VMG. You can change this in Maintenance> Time Setting. System Resource CPU Usage This field displays what percentage of the VMG's processing ability is currently used. When this percentage is close to 100%, the VMG is running at full load, and the throughput is not going to improve anymore. If you want some applications to have more throughput, you should turn off other applications (for example, using QoS; see Chapter 10 on page 137). Memory Usage This field displays what percentage of the VMG's memory is currently used. Usually, this percentage should not increase much. If memory usage does get close to 100%, the VMG is probably becoming unstable, and you should restart the device. See Section 36.2 on page 270, or turn off the device (unplug the power) for a few seconds. VMG4927-B50A / VMG9827-B50A User's Guide 66

Secondary DNS

server

This field displays the second DNS server address assigned by the ISP.

DHCP

This field displays whether the WAN interface is using a DHCP IP address or a static IP address.

Choices are:

Client

- The WAN interface can obtain an IP address from a DHCP server.

None

- The WAN interface is using a static IP address.

LAN Information

IP Address

This is the current IP address of the VMG in the LAN.

IP Subnet Mask

This is the current subnet mask in the LAN.

IPv6 Link Local

Address

This field displays the current link-local address of the VMG for the LAN interface.

DHCP

This field displays what DHCP services the VMG is providing to the LAN. The possible values

are:

Server

- The VMG is a DHCP server in the LAN. It assigns IP addresses to other computers in

the LAN.

Relay

- The VMG

acts as a surrogate DHCP server and relays DHCP requests and responses

between the remote server and the clients.

Disable

- The VMG is not providing any DHCP services to the LAN.

MAC Address

This shows the LAN Ethernet adapter MAC (Media Access Control) address of your VMG.

WLAN 2.4GHz/5GHz Information

MAC Address

This shows the wireless adapter MAC (Media Access Control) address of the wireless

interface.

Status

This displays whether the WLAN is activated.

SSID

This is the descriptive name used to identify the VMG in a wireless LAN.

Channel

This is the channel number used by the wireless interface now.

Security

This displays the type of security mode the wireless interface is using in the wireless LAN.

802.11 Mode

This displays the type of 802.11 mode the wireless interface is using in the wireless LAN.
