Field Description
Config IP Address
and Netmask The IP address and network mask you want to assign
to the interface. If the interface will be used for
bridging with your ISP and you will not be using the
ROUTER as a router on your LAN, then you do not
need to specify IP information. If you enable DHCP
for this interface, then the Configured IP address will
serve only as a request to the DHCP server. The
actual address that is assigned by the ISP may differ
if this address is not available.
Use DHCP When enabled, this setting instructs the device to
accept IP information assigned dynamically by your
ISP’s DHCP server. If the interface will be used for
bridging with your ISP and you will not be routing
data through it, leave this checkbox unselected.
Default Route Indicates whether the ROUTER uses the IP address
assigned to this interface, if any, as its default route
for your LAN. Your system can have only one default
route. See Chapter 0 for an explanation of default
routes.
Gateway Address The external IP address that the ADSL/Ethernet router
communicates with via the EOA interface to gain
access to the Internet. This is typically an ISP server.
Status A green or red ball will display to indicate that the
interface is currently up or down, respectively. You
cannot manually enable or disable the interface; a
red ball may indicate a problem with the DSL
connection.
Action Icons you can click on to edit ( ) or delete ( ) the
associated EOA interface.
