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.
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.
