Viewing System IP Addresses and IP Performance Statistics

The listed IP addresses may include:
•
The IP address of the device's LAN (Ethernet) port, called
[eth-0]. See Configuring the LAN Ports on page 40 for
instructions on configuring this address.
•
The IP address of the WAN (ADSL line) interface, which your
ISP and other external devices use to identify your network.
It may be identified in the [Configuration Manager] by the
names [ppp-0], [eoa-0], or [ipoa-0], depending on the protocol
your device uses to communicate with your ISP. Your ISP
may assign the same address each time, or it may change
each time you reconnect.
•
The loopback IP address, named [lo-0], of [127.0.0.1].
This special address enables the device to keep any data
addressed directly to it, rather than route the data through
the WAN or LAN ports.
If your device has additional IP-enabled interfaces,
the IP addresses of these will also display.
