Chapter 13 Interfaces This screen's fields are described in the table below. Table 59 Configuration > Network > Interface > Ethernet > Edit LABEL DESCRIPTION Show Advance Click this button to display a greater or lesser number of configuration Settings / Hide fields. Advance Settings General Settings Enable Interface Select this to enable this interface. Clear this to disable this interface. Interface Properties Interface Type Select to which type of network you will connect this interface. When you select Internal or External the rest of the screen's options automatically adjust to correspond. The ZyWALL automatically adds default route and SNAT settings for traffic it routes from internal interfaces to external interfaces; for example LAN to WAN traffic. Internal is for connecting to a local network. Other corresponding configuration options: DHCP server and DHCP relay. The ZyWALL automatically adds default SNAT settings for traffic flowing from this interface to an external interface. External is for connecting to an external network (like the Internet). The ZyWALL automatically adds this interface to the default WAN trunk. Interface Name Port Zone MAC Address Description IP Address Assignment Get Automatically For General, the rest of the screen's options do not automatically adjust and you must manually configure a policy route to add routing and SNAT settings for the interface. Specify a name for the interface. It can use alphanumeric characters, hyphens, and underscores, and it can be up to 11 characters long. This is the name of the Ethernet interface's physical port. Select the zone to which this interface is to belong. You use zones to apply security settings such as firewall, IDP, remote management, anti-virus, and application patrol. This field is read-only. This is the MAC address that the Ethernet interface uses. Enter a description of this interface. It is not used elsewhere. You can use alphanumeric and characters, and it can be up to 60 characters long. These IP address fields configure an IP address on the interface itself. If you change this IP address on the interface, you may also need to change a related address object for the network connected to the interface. For example, if you use this screen to change the IP address of your LAN interface, you should also change the corresponding LAN subnet address object. This option appears when Interface Properties is External or General. Select this to make the interface a DHCP client and automatically get the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address from a DHCP server. You should not select this if the interface is assigned to a VRRP group. See Chapter 39 on page 667. 286 ZyWALL USG 2000 User's Guide
