Chapter 7 Interfaces
ZyWALL 110/310/1100 Series User’s Guide

Each field is described in the following table.
7.3.1 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 7.3 on page 109.)
Note: If you create IP address objects based on an interface’s IP address, subnet, or
gateway, the ZyWALL automatically updates every rule or setting that uses the
object whenever the interface’s IP address settings change. For example, if you
change the LAN’s IP address, the ZyWALL automatically updates the corresponding
interface-based, LAN 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.

LABEL DESCRIPTION
Configuration / IPv6
Configuration
Use the Configuration section for IPv4 network settings. Use the IPv6
Configuration section for IPv6 network settings if you connect your ZyWALL to an
IPv6 network. Both sections have similar fields as described below.
Edit Double-click an entry or select it and click Edit to open a screen where you can modify
the entry’s settings.
Remove To remove a virtual interface, select it and click Remove. The ZyWALL confirms you
want to remove it before doing so.
Activate To turn on an interface, select it and click Activate.
Inactivate To turn off an interface, select it and click Inactivate.
Create Virtual
Interface
To open the screen where you can create a virtual Ethernet interface, select an
Ethernet interface and click Create Virtual Interface.
Object References Select an entry and click Object Reference to open a screen that shows which
settings use the entry. See Section 7.3.2 on page 122 for an example.
# This field is a sequential value, and it is not associated with any interface.
Status This icon is lit when the entry is active and dimmed when the entry is inactive.
Name This field displays the name of the interface.
IP Address This field displays the current IP address of the interface. If the IP address is 0.0.0.0 (in
the IPv4 network) or :: (in the IPv6 network), the interface does not have an IP
address yet.
In the IPv4 network, 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.
In the IPv6 network, this screen also shows whether the IP address is a static IP
address (STATIC), link-local IP address (LINK LOCAL), dynamically assigned
(DHCP), or an IPv6 StateLess Address AutoConfiguration IP address (SLAAC). See
Section 7.1.2 on page 103 for more information about IPv6.
Mask This field displays the interface’s subnet mask in dot decimal notation.
Apply Click Apply to save your changes back to the ZyWALL.
Reset Click Reset to return the screen to its last-saved settings.
