This table lists basic properties and IP address commands.
Table 52 Input Values for General Interface Commands
LABEL DESCRIPTION
interface_name
The name of the interface.
Ethernet interface: For some Zyxel Device models, use gex, x = 1 - N, where N equals the
highest numbered Ethernet interface for your Zyxel Device model.
For other Zyxel Device models use a name such as wan1, wan2, opt, lan1, ext-wlan, or
dmz.
virtual interface on top of Ethernet interface: add a colon (:) and the number of the virtual
interface. For example: gex:y, x = 1 - N, y = 1 - 4
VLAN interface: vlanx, x = 0 - 4094
virtual interface on top of VLAN interface: vlanx:y, x = 0 - 4094, y = 1 - 4
bridge interface: brx, x = 0 - N, where N depends on the number of bridge interfaces your
Zyxel Device model supports.
virtual interface on top of bridge interface: brx:y, x = the number of the bridge interface, y =
1 - 4
PPPoE/PPTP interface: pppx, x = 0 - N, where N depends on the number of PPPoE/PPTP
interfaces your Zyxel Device model supports.
profile_name
The name of the DHCP . You may use 1-31 alphanumeric characters, underscores(_), or
dashes (-), but the first character cannot be a number. This value is case-sensitive.
domain_name
Fully-qualified domain name. You may up to 254 alphanumeric characters, dashes (-), or
periods (.), but the first character cannot be a period.
