Interface Grouping
15.1 Interface Grouping
By default, all LAN and WAN interfaces on the GPON Device are in the same group and can
communicate with each other. Create interface groups to have the GPON Device assign the IP
addresses in different domains to different groups. Each group acts as an independent network on
the GPON Device. This lets devices connected to an interface group’s LAN interfaces communicate
through the interface group’s WAN or LAN interfaces but not other WAN or LAN interfaces.
You can manually add a LAN interface to a new group. Alternatively, you can have the GPON Device
automatically add the incoming traffic and the LAN interface on which traffic is received to an
interface group when its DHCP Vendor ID option information matches one listed for the interface
group.
Use the
LAN
screen to configure the private IP addresses the DHCP server on the GPON Device
assigns to the clients in the default and/or user-defined groups. If you set the GPON Device to
assign IP addresses based on the client’s DHCP Vendor ID option information, you must enable
DHCP server and configure LAN TCP/IP settings for both the default and user-defined groups.
