A table displays the following information about each
interface. Click a column heading to sort by that heading.
Description
The keywords you entered to describe the
interface are displayed.
Interface
The name of the interface is displayed.
Type
The type of interface is displayed.
IP Addr
The IP address of the interface is displayed.
MTU
The MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) value of the
interface is displayed. This is the maximum packet size (in
bytes) that the interface can transmit.
TX
The transmit speed of the interface is displayed.
RX
The receive speed of the interface is displayed.
Status
The connection status of the interface is displayed.
Actions
Click the
Actions
button to access the following
options:
•
Config
To configure the interface, click
Config
. Go to
the
Configure the Interface
section.
•
Disable
Disable the interface while keeping its
configuration.
Configure the Interface
After you click
Config
, the
Interface Configuration
screen
appears.
Make changes as needed.
•
Description
Enter keywords to describe this interface.
•
Enable
Check the box to enable the interface. All of
the interfaces are saved in the system configuration file;
however, only the enabled interfaces are active on the
device.
•
Address
Select one of the following:
-
No address settings
The interface uses no address
settings. (In most cases, an address is needed.)
-
Use DHCP
The interface acquires network settings
from a DHCPv4 server. Click the
Renew
button to
acquire fresh network settings.
-
Use DHCP for IPv6
The interface acquires network
settings from a DHCPv6 server.
-
Manually define IP address(es)
Enter the
static IP address (example:
192.0.2.1/24
for IPv4
or
2001:db8::1/32
for IPv6). Click
Add IP
to enter
additional IP addresses.
•
MTU
Enter the MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit)
value, which is the maximum packet size (in bytes) that a
network interface can transmit. The default is
1500
.
•
Speed/Duplex
The default is
Auto negotiation
. The
EdgeRouter automatically negotiates transmission
parameters, such as speed and duplex, with its
counterpart. In this process, the networked devices
first share their capabilities and then choose the fastest
transmission mode they both supoprt.
To manually specify the transmission link speed and
duplex mode, select one of the following options:
100/full
,
100/half
,
10/full
, or
10/half
.
Full-duplex mode allows communication in both
directions simultaneously. Half-duplex mode
allows communication in both directions, but not
simultaneously and only in one direction at a time.
•
Proxy ARP
Enable the EdgeRouter to answer a source
host’s ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) requests for
the IP address of a destination host that is not located
on the source host’s network. ARP allows hosts on the
same network to discover each other’s IP address via a
layer 2 broadcast to all MAC addresses. If they are not on
the same network, the layer 2 broadcast will not reach
its destination; however, the EdgeRouter can serve as
the go-between if
Proxy ARP
is enabled.
