General Settings
Enable Interface Select this to enable this interface. Clear this to disable this interface.
Interface Properties
Interface Type
internal
is for connecting to a local network. Other corresponding configuration
options: DHCP server and DHCP relay. The UAG automatically adds default SNAT
settings for traffic flowing from this interface to an external interface.
external
is for connecting to an external network (like the Internet). The UAG
automatically adds this interface to the default WAN trunk.
Interface Name
Specify a name for the interface. It can use alphanumeric characters, hyphens, and
underscores, and it can be up to 11 characters long.
Port
This is the name of the Ethernet interface’s physical port.
Zone
This is the zone to which this interface is to belong. You use zones to apply security
settings such as firewall, and remote management.
MAC Address
This field is read-only. This is the MAC address that the Ethernet interface uses.
Description
Enter a description of this interface. It is not used elsewhere. You can use alphanumeric
and
()+/:=?!*#@$_%-
characters, and it can be up to 60 characters long.
IP Address
Assignment
These IP address fields configure an IPv4 IP address on the interface itself. If you
change this IP address on the interface, you may also need to change a related address
object for the network connected to the interface. For example, if you use this screen to
change the IP address of your LAN interface, you should also change the corresponding
LAN subnet address object.
Get
Automatically
This option appears when
Interface Type
is
external
. Select this to make the
interface a DHCP client and automatically get the IP address, subnet mask, and
gateway address from a DHCP server.
Use Fixed IP
Address
This option appears when
Interface Type
is
external
. Select this if you want to
specify the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway manually.
IP Address
Enter the IP address for this interface.
Subnet Mask
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 option appears when
Interface Type
is
external
. Enter the IP address of the
gateway. The UAG 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
This option appears when
Interface Type
is
external
. Enter the priority of the
gateway (if any) on this interface. The UAG 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 UAG uses the one that was configured first.
