Chapter 11 Interfaces Table 55 Configuration > Network > Interface > Ethernet > Edit (continued) LABEL DESCRIPTION Metric This option appears when Interface Properties is External or General. 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. Interface Parameters Egress Bandwidth Enter the maximum amount of traffic, in kilobits per second, the ZyWALL can send through the interface to the network. Allowed values are 0 - 1048576. Ingress Bandwidth This is reserved for future use. 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. Connectivity Check These fields appear when Interface Properties is External or General. Enable Connectivity Check Check Method The interface can regularly check the connection to the gateway you specified to make sure it is still available. You specify how often the interface checks the connection, how long to wait for a response before the attempt is a failure, and how many consecutive failures are required before the ZyWALL stops routing to the gateway. The ZyWALL resumes routing to the gateway the first time the gateway passes the connectivity check. Select this to turn on the connection check. Select the method that the gateway allows. Select icmp to have the ZyWALL regularly ping the gateway you specify to make sure it is still available. Select tcp to have the ZyWALL regularly perform a TCP handshake with the gateway you specify to make sure it is still available. Check Period Enter the number of seconds between connection check attempts. Check Timeout Enter the number of seconds to wait for a response before the attempt is a failure. Check Fail Tolerance Enter the number of consecutive failures before the ZyWALL stops routing through the gateway. Check Default Select this to use the default gateway for the connectivity check. Gateway Check this address Select this to specify a domain name or IP address for the connectivity check. Enter that domain name or IP address in the field next to it. 226 ZyWALL USG 50 User's Guide

This option appears when

Interface Properties

General

. 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.

Interface

interface checks the connection, how long to wait for a response

before the attempt is a failure, and how many consecutive failures are

required before the ZyWALL stops routing to the gateway. The

ZyWALL resumes routing to the gateway the first time the gateway

passes the connectivity check.
