Chapter 4. Network Configuration
Physical device
Physical device
tells the physical device name of the network interface.
Status
Specify if this network interface is
On
or
Off
. If the interface is off, all configuration on
this page is ignored, and the Telecommuting Module will behave as if this interface wasn’t
present.
Interface name
The network
Interface name
is only used internally in the Telecommuting Module, e. g.
when configuring
Networks and Computers
.
Obtain IP Address Dynamically
Specify if this network interface should obtain its IP address from a DHCP or PPPoE server
instead of an address entered on this page. If
DHCP client ON
is selected, the Telecommut-
ing Module will send out a DHCP request when you apply the configuration and at boot. The
request is sent out to the network connected to this interface. If no IP address is obtained,
the Telecommuting Module will keep on sending requests until an address lease is received.
The Telecommuting Module will accept an IP address and a netmask via DHCP. It will also
accept a default gateway, if you configured for that in the
Main Default Gateways
table on
the
Default Gateway
page.
If
PPPoE client ON
is selected, the Telecommuting Module will send out a PPPoE request
when you apply the configuration and at boot. To obtain an IP address via PPPoE, you also
need to enter configuration on the
PPPoE
page.
More than one interface can obtain its IP address dynamically.
Directly Connected Networks
The Telecommuting Module must have an IP address on every network to which it is directly
connected. This applies to all networks on the same physical network to which this interface
is connected.
When the DHCP client is on, there must be a directly connected network with "*" as the
DNS name/IP address
, and where the
Netmask/bits
field is left empty. No other directly
connected networks are allowed for this interface.
