Wireless Network Interface
If you are editing a wireless network interface configuration, the following controls and fields appear in
the Network and Wireless tabs of the Edit Network Interface window:
Field Description
Enable Interface Check this check box to enable this network interface.
Configure via DHCP radio button Select this radio button to configure the selected network
interface to use a DHCP server on the network to obtain its IP
address, subnet mask, and gateway server settings. If you are
using DHCP, the time remaining until the appliance will need
to renew its IP address lease is displayed beneath this radio
button.
Configure using these settings
radio button
Select this radio button if you want to specify the IP address,
subnet mask, and gateway address values for the selected
network interface.
IP The IP address assigned to the selected network interface. This
field is available only if you have selected the Configure using
these settings radio button.
Subnet Mask The subnet mask for the network that will be used by the
selected network interface. This field is available only if you
have selected the Configure using these settings radio button.
Gateway The IP address of the gateway in the network that will be used
by the selected network interface. This field is available only if
you have selected the Configure using these settings radio
button.
Hostname The host name assigned to the NetBotz appliance. If you
change the hostname value and are using a DHCP server for IP
configuration the appliance will use the new hostname until the
next time it renews its IP address license and will request that
the DHCP server use the hostname you entered as the
appliance’s hostname from now on.
NAT Proxy Name The name or IP address that is used by a NAT Proxy server in
your network to enable users to connect to the appliance from
outside the firewall. This address will be included in E-mail
alert notifications that are generated by the appliance instead of
the IP address used to identify the appliance within the firewall.
Recipients will then be able to click on the link contained in the
E-mail and connect to the appliance even if they are outside the
firewall.
Note: A NAT Proxy Name is needed only if your appliances
are behind a NAT Proxy firewall. If you are not using a NAT
Proxy, leave this field blank.
ESS ID The Extended Service Set value shared by this appliance and
other members of the wireless network.
