Viewing System IP Information and
Performance Statistics
The interfaces on HSA300 that communicate with other network
and Internet devices are identified by unique Internet protocol (IP)
addresses. You can use the Configuration Manager to view the list
of IP addresses that your device uses, and to view other system
and network performance data.
See Appendix 0 for a description of IP addresses and masks.
Viewing HSA300’s IP addresses
To view HSA300’s IP addresses, click the Routing tab, and then
click
IP Addr
in the task bar. The IP Address Table page displays,
as shown in Figure 17:
Figure 17. IP Address Table Page
The table lists the IP addresses, network masks (“Net Mask”), and
interface names (“IF Name”) for each of its IP-enabled interfaces.
The listed IP addresses may include:
! The IP address of the device’s LAN (Ethernet) port, called
eth-0. See Chapter 5 for instructions on configuring this
address.
! The IP address of the device’s USB port, named usb-0.
See Chapter 5 for instructions on configuring this address.
! The IP address of the WAN (ADSL line) interface, which
your ISP and other external devices use to identify your
network. It may be identified in the Configuration Manager
by the names ppp-0 or eoa-0, or ipoa-0, depending on the
protocol your device uses to communicate with your ISP.
Your ISP may assign the same address each time, or it
may change each time you reconnect.
! The “loopback” IP address, named lo-0, of 127.0.0.1. This
is a special address that enables the device to keep any
data addressed directly to it, rather than route the data
through the WAN or LAN ports.
If your device has additional IP-enabled interfaces, the IP
addresses of these will also display.
