Chapter 12 Interfaces Each field is described in the following table. Table 64 Configuration > Network > Interface > Ethernet LABEL Edit Remove Activate Inactivate Create Virtual Interface Object References # Status Name IP Address DESCRIPTION Double-click an entry or select it and click Edit to open a screen where you can modify the entry's settings. To remove a virtual interface, select it and click Remove. The ISG50 confirms you want to remove it before doing so. To turn on an interface, select it and click Activate. To turn off an interface, select it and click Inactivate. To open the screen where you can create a virtual Ethernet interface, select an Ethernet interface and click Create Virtual Interface. Select an entry and click Object References to open a screen that shows which settings use the entry. See Section 12.3.2 on page 246 for an example. This field is a sequential value, and it is not associated with any interface. This icon is lit when the entry is active and dimmed when the entry is inactive. This field displays the name of the interface. This field displays the current IP address of the interface. If the IP address is 0.0.0.0, the interface does not have an IP address yet. Mask Apply Reset This screen also shows whether the IP address is a static IP address (STATIC) or dynamically assigned (DHCP). IP addresses are always static in virtual interfaces. This field displays the interface's subnet mask in dot decimal notation. Click Apply to save your changes back to the ISG50. Click Reset to return the screen to its last-saved settings. 12.3.1 Ethernet Edit The Ethernet Edit screen lets you configure IP address assignment, interface parameters, RIP settings, OSPF settings, DHCP settings, connectivity check, and MAC address settings. To access this screen, click an Edit icon in the Ethernet Summary screen. (See Section 12.3 on page 237.) The WAN interface's Edit > Configuration screen is shown here as an example. Note: If you create IP address objects based on an interface's IP address, subnet, or gateway, the ISG50 automatically updates every rule or setting that uses the object whenever the interface's IP address settings change. For example, if you change LAN1's IP address, the ISG50 automatically updates the corresponding interfacebased, LAN1 subnet address object. With RIP, you can use Ethernet interfaces to do the following things. • Enable and disable RIP in the underlying physical port or port group. • Select which direction(s) routing information is exchanged - The ISG50 can receive routing information, send routing information, or do both. • Select which version of RIP to support in each direction - The ISG50 supports RIP-1, RIP-2, and both versions. • Select the broadcasting method used by RIP-2 packets - The ISG50 can use subnet broadcasting or multicasting. 238 ISG50 User's Guide
