10.3 The Port Role Screen
To access this screen, click Network > Interface > Port Role. Use the Port Role screen to set
the ZyWALL’s flexible ports as part of the lan1, ext-wlan or dmz interfaces. This creates a
hardware connection between the physical ports at the layer-2 (data link, MAC address) level.
This provides wire-speed throughput but no security.
Not the following if you are configuring from a computer connected to a lan1, ext-wlan, or
dmz port and change the port's role:
1 A port's IP address varies as its role changes, make sure your computer's IP address is in
the same subnet as the ZyWALL's lan1, ext-wlan, or dmz IP address.
2 Use the appropriate lan1, ext-wlan, or dmz IP address to access the ZyWALL.
