IPv4 configuration
Method by which an interface is assigned an IPv4 address.
Static
Specify the IP address.
- IPv4/Netmask
- IPv4 address and subnet mask.
- Gateway detail
- Gateway through which traffic is to be routed.
PPPoE
Obtain an IP address from a PPPoE server.
- Preferred IP
- Preferred IP address for the PPPoE connection. Many internet service
providers assign a static IP address to PPPoE connections. The firewall
allows you to bind the static IP address to the PPPoE connection. Note An address other than the preferred IP address may be assigned to the PPPoE connection, depending on the PPPoE server configuration.
- Gateway detail
- Gateway through which traffic is to be routed.
- Username
- PPPoE account user name.
- Password
- PPPoE account password.
- Access concentrator/service name
- Access concentrator and service name. The firewall initiates only those sessions with the access concentrator that can provide the specified service.
- LCP echo interval
- Time, in seconds, that the system must wait before it sends an echo request to check whether the link is alive. Once an attempt is made, the firewall waits for the defined time interval before the next attempt is made.
- LCP failure
- Number of attempts (echo requests) to be made. Once the specified number of attempts are made without receiving a response from the client, the firewall disconnects the PPPoE connection.
- Schedule time for reconnect
- The address assigned to a PPPoE connection, whether dynamic or static
(preferred), can have a predefined validity period. Once the validity
expires, the PPPoE connection is terminated and is reconnected. To prevent
reconnection during working hours, enable the PPPoE reconnect schedule.
Note On reconnection, an address other than the preferred IP address (if specified) may be assigned to the PPPoE connection.
DHCP
Obtain an IP address from a DHCP server.
- Gateway detail
- Gateway through which traffic is to be routed.
