11.1 Interfaces – WAN
The Network » Interfaces » WAN page configures the interface for the WAN zone.
11.1.1 Common Configuration
General Setup
Status Shows a summary of the interface for the WAN zone. This includes uptime, MAC address,
bytes and packets received by the device, bytes and packets transmitted by the device,
and its IPv4 address.
Figure 34: Status of the “eth1” interface of the WAN zone.
Protocol Chooses between DHCP client (default), where the device obtains it IP address
automatically, or Static address, where you can specify the device IP address. Other
protocols are PPTP, PPPoE, and L2TP.
Protocol – Static address
IPv4 address Sets the IP address of the device as seen from the WAN zone.
IPv4 netmask Sets the subnet mask e.g. 255.255.255.0. The IP address and netmask together
determine the subnet or network ID e.g. 192.168.10.0/24. Two devices must be in
the same subnet in order to establish a (Layer 2) link between them.
IPv4 gateway Specifies the IP address of the remote router that allows the device's shell to gain
internet access.
IPv4 broadcast Specifies the IPv4 broadcast address, optional.
Use custom DNS
servers
Configures the IP address of the DNS servers e.g. 165.21.100.88 for the SingNet
DNS server in Singapore or 8.8.8.8 for the Google DNS server in the USA. The
computers in the same subnet as this device can then set this device's IP address as
their preferred DNS server to obtain the same DNS service.
