Interface Properties
Interface Type Select to which type of network you will connect this interface. When you select internal or
external the rest of the screen’s options automatically adjust to correspond. The NXC
automatically adds default route and SNAT settings for traffic it routes from internal
interfaces to external interfaces; for example LAN to WAN traffic.
Select internal to connect to a local network. Other corresponding configuration options:
DHCP server and DHCP relay. The NXC automatically adds default SNAT settings for traffic
flowing from this interface to an external interface.
Select external to connect to an external network (like the Internet).
If you select general, the rest of the screen’s options do not automatically adjust and you
must manually configure a policy route to add routing and SNAT settings for the interface.
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 indicates the port that you are currently editing.
PVID A PVID (Port VLAN ID) is a tag that adds to incoming untagged frames received on a port
so that the frames are forwarded to the VLAN group that the tag defines.
Enter the PVID for this port (1~4094).
Zone Select a zone with which to associate this port.
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 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 you set the Interface Type to external or general. 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 you set the Interface Type to external or general. Select this if you
want to specify the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway manually.
IP Address This field is enabled if you set the Interface Type to internal or you select Use Fixed IP
Address.
Enter the IP address for this interface.
