How to Con Ethernet, PPP, VLAN, Bridge and Policy Routing - multiple wan ip

Page 26 highlights

Chapter 2 How to Set Up Your Network This way the ZyWALL can automatically balance the traffic load amongst the available WAN connections to enhance overall network throughput. Plus, if a WAN connection goes down, the ZyWALL still sends traffic through the remaining WAN connections. For a simple test, disconnect all of the ZyWALL's wired WAN connections. If you can still access the Internet, your cellular interface is properly configured and your cellular device is working. 2.4 How to Configure Ethernet, PPP, VLAN, Bridge and Policy Routing The following table describes when to configure the Ethernet, PPP, VLAN, Bridge screens under Configuration > Network > Interface and the Configuration > Network > Routing > Policy Routing screen. Table 8 Ethernet, PPP, VLAN, Bridge and Policy Routing Screen Relationships SCREEN Ethernet PPP VLAN Bridge Policy Routing DESCRIPTION Configure this if any interface on the ZyWALL is connecting to an Ethernet network. Ethernet interfaces are the foundation for defining other interfaces and network policies. Configure this if you need your service provider to provide an IP address through PPPoE or PPTP in order to access the Internet or another network. Configure this if you want to divide your physical networks into multiple VLANs, or your service provider or an aggregated network needs the ZyWALL to recognize the VLAN tags in the packets flowing through the ZyWALL. Configure this if you want the ZyWALL to combine two or multiple network segments into one single network. Although the ZyWALL is "transparent" in this mode, you can still apply security checking on packets flowing through the ZyWALL. Configure this if you want to override the ZyWALL's default routing behavior in order to send packets through the appropriate interface or VPN tunnel. Since firmware version 3.00, the ZyWALL supports IPv6 configuration in these Ethernet, PPP, VLAN, Bridge and Policy Route screens under Configuration > Network > Interface and Configuration > Network > Routing. Basically, these are the same as the ones for IPv4 networks except the following differences: • You have to enable IPv6 globally in the CONFIGURATION > System > IPv6 screen to make the IPv6 settings work. • An Enable IPv6 setting - Select this in the screens listed above to enable the ZyWALL to be able to send and receive IPv6 packets through the interface. Otherwise, the ZyWALL discards IPv6 packets flowing through the interface. • IPv6 Address Assignment - This section allows you to enable auto-configuration and configure prefix delegation. • DHCPv6 Setting - This section allows you to configure the DHCPv6 role and the corresponding settings for the interface. 26 ZyWALL USG100-PLUS User's Guide

DESCRIPTION
Ethernet
Configure this if any interface on the ZyWALL is connecting to an Ethernet network. Ethernet
interfaces are the foundation for defining other interfaces and network policies.
PPP
Configure this if you need your service provider to provide an IP address through PPPoE or PPTP in
order to access the Internet or another network.
VLAN
Configure this if you want to divide your physical networks into multiple VLANs, or your service
provider or an aggregated network needs the ZyWALL to recognize the VLAN tags in the packets
flowing through the ZyWALL.
Bridge
Configure this if you want the ZyWALL to combine two or multiple network segments into one
single network. Although the ZyWALL is “transparent” in this mode, you can still apply security
checking on packets flowing through the ZyWALL.
Policy
Routing
Configure this if you want to override the ZyWALL’s default routing behavior in order to send
packets through the appropriate interface or VPN tunnel.
