Table Heading Description
WAN Interfaces Displays the software name(s) and various
settings for the device interface(s) that
communicate with your ISP via DSL. Although you
only have one physical DSL port, multiple
software-defined interfaces can be configured to
use it. Most users need only one. See Chapter 5
for more information about configuring the WAN
interfaces.
For each interface, a "Lower Interface" name,
such as aal5-0, should display. You can click on
the lower interface name to view or change the
ATM VC settings that this interface uses.
LAN Interface Displays the software names and various settings
for the device interfaces that communicate directly
with your network. These typically include an
Ethernet interface named eth-0, and may include
a USB interface named usb-0. For information on
modifying properties of these interfaces, see
Chapter 4.
