This field is read-only if you are editing an existing VLAN interface.
Enter the number of the VLAN interface. You can use a number from

number of VLANs you can configure on the ZyWALL. For example,
vlan0, vlan8, and so on.
Base Port Select the Ethernet interface on which the VLAN interface runs.
VLAN ID Enter the VLAN ID. This 12-bit number uniquely identifies each VLAN.
Allowed values are 1 - 4094. (0 and 4095 are reserved.)

server configures the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway
automatically.

Address
Select this if you want to specify the IP address, subnet mask, and
gateway manually.
IP Address This field is enabled if you select Use Fixed IP Address.
Enter the IP address for this interface.
Subnet Mask This field is enabled if you select Use Fixed IP Address.
Enter the subnet mask of this interface in dot decimal notation. The
subnet mask indicates what part of the IP address is the same for all
computers in the network.
Gateway This field is enabled if you select Use Fixed IP Address.
Enter the IP address of the gateway. The ZyWALL sends packets to
the gateway when it does not know how to route the packet to its
destination. The gateway should be on the same network as the
interface.
