IP Network Interfaces
In example 1, we show three different types of network interfaces and the IP subnets that are used.
It should be noted that even though the CyberSWITCH only has one physical connection to the
WAN, it has more than one logical connection. Also, each one of these logical interfaces can be in
different subnetworks.
• The LAN interface is the simplest. It specifies the IP address (128.1.1.1) which connects the sys-
tem to the Ethernet LAN. In our example, only one LAN interface is configured.
• The Direct Host interface doesn’t have an IP address. Devices that use the Direct Host interface
must have an IP address that is on the same subnet as one of the configured LAN interfaces.
Since only one LAN interface is configured, that IP address must correspond to the one config-
ured LAN IP address. (See Secondary IP Addressing for multiple LAN IP addresses).
• The WAN interface in this example is used to connect two IP subnets (128.1.1.0 and 198.1.2.0).
A separate subnet (192.2.2.0) is required to connect the subnets. If the remote router supports
unnumbered interfaces (such as Example 2), then the connecting subnet would not be required.
