10.1 Interface Overview
Use the
Interface
screens to configure the Zyxel Device’s interfaces. You can also create interfaces on
top of other interfaces.
•
Ports
are the physical ports to which you connect cables.
•
Interfaces
are used within the system operationally. You use them in configuring various features. An
interface also describes a network that is directly connected to the Zyxel Device. For example, You
connect the LAN network to the LAN interface.
•
Zones
are groups of interfaces used to ease security policy configuration.
10.1.1 What You Can Do in this Chapter
• Use the
Port Role
screen (
) to create port groups and to assign physical ports
and port groups to Ethernet interfaces.
• Use the
Port Configuration
screen (
) to configure Zyxel Device port settings.
• Use the
Ethernet
screens (
) to configure the Ethernet interfaces. Ethernet
interfaces are the foundation for defining other interfaces and network policies. RIP and OSPF are also
configured in these interfaces.
• Use the
Virtual Interface
) to create virtual interfaces on top of
Ethernet interfaces to tell the Zyxel Device where to route packets. You can create virtual Ethernet
interfaces, virtual VLAN interfaces, and virtual bridge interfaces.
• Use the
PPP
screens (
) for PPPoE, PPTP or L2TP Internet connections.
• Use the
Cellular
screens (
) to configure settings for interfaces for Internet
connections through an installed mobile broadband card.
• Use the
Tunnel
) to configure tunnel interfaces to be used in
Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE), IPv6 in IPv4, and 6to4 tunnels.
• Use the
VLAN
screens (
) to divide the physical network into multiple logical
networks. VLAN interfaces receive and send tagged frames. The Zyxel Device automatically adds or
removes the tags as needed. Each VLAN can only be associated with one Ethernet interface.
• Use the
Bridge
) to combine two or more network segments into a
single network.
• Use the
LAG
screens (
) to combine multiple physical Ethernet interfaces
into a single logical interface.
• Use the
VTI
screens (
) to encrypt or decrypt IPv4 traffic from or to the
interface according to the IP routing table.
• Use the
Trunk
screens (
) to configure load balancing.
