LABEL DESCRIPTION
Virtual Interface Properties
Interface Name This field is read-only. It displays the name of the virtual interface, which is
automatically derived from the underlying Ethernet interface, VLAN interface, or
bridge interface.
Description Enter a description of this interface. It is not used elsewhere. You can use
alphanumeric and
()+/:=?!*#@$_%- characters, and it can be up to 60
characters long.
IP Address Assignment
IP Address Enter the IP address for this interface.
Subnet Mask 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 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.
Metric Enter the priority of the gateway (if any) on this interface. The ZyWALL decides
which gateway to use based on this priority. The lower the number, the higher
the priority. If two or more gateways have the same priority, the ZyWALL uses
the one that was configured first.
