Network interfaces
46
IP Address and Mask
IP address and the mask of this interface’s subnet.
If the more IP addresses are set for the interface, the primary IP address will be displayed.
On
Windows
, the address assigned to the interface as first is considered as primary.
Status
Current status of the interface (up/down).
Internet
This information indicates the method the interface uses for Internet connection (pri-
mary/secondary connection, bandwidth used).
Details
Adapter identification string returned by the device driver.
System Name
The name of the adapter (e.g. “LAN connection 2”). The name is for reference only.
Gateway
IP address of the default gateway set for the particular interface.
DNS
IP address of the primary DNS server set on the interface.
MAC
Hardware (MAC) address of a corresponding network adapter. This entry is empty for
dial-ups as its use would be meaningless there.
Use the buttons at the bottom of the interface list to remove or edit properties of the chosen
interface. If no interface is chosen or the selected interface does not support a certain function,
appropriate buttons will be inactive.
Add VPN Tunnel
Use this option to create a new server-to-server VPN tunnel. Details on the proprietary
Kerio VPN
solution are provided in chapter
.
Note:
Dial-ups must be defined by following a standard procedure in the operating sys-
tem.
Modify
Click on
Edit
to view and/or modify parameters of the selected interface.
In
WinRoute
, it is specify to specify a special name for each interface (names taken from
the operating system can be confusing and the new name may make it clear). Likewise, it
is possible to change a group to which an interface belongs, in accordance of the network
it is actually connected to (Internet, secure local network, another network — e.g.
).
It is also possible to change the default gateway and edit parameters of DNS servers.
In most cases, if traffic to the corresponding networks works smoothly before
WinRoute
installation, it is not necessary to change settings taken from the operating system.
For dial-ups it is also possible to set login data and dialing options (see chapter
For
VPN server
and VPN tunnels, a dialog for setting of the
VPN server
(see chapter
or a VPN tunnel (refer to chapter
) will be opened.
