2.1.1 Create / New WAN Profile

Administrators are allowed to add a new WAN profile. The WAN profile can be either static or dynamic. For
static settings, enter the IP address, subnet mask and gateway IP for connection. The changes will take effect
after the configurations are applied.

To create a WAN profile, go to the ‘WAN’ section under the ‘Network’ module present in the sidebar and click
on the ‘

+

’ icon. A modal form is displayed that is required to be filled in to create a WAN profile.
