you do not consider RAS clients as parts of trustworthy networks for any reason, you can

move the Dial-In interface to Other interfaces.

Note:

1.

If both RAS server and WinRoute are used, the RAS server must be configured to

assign clients IP addresses of a subnet which is not used by any segment of the local

network. WinRoute performs standard IP routing which might not function unless

this condition is met.

2.

For assigning of IP addresses to RAS clients connecting directly to the WinRoute host,

it is not possible to use the WinRoute’s DHCP server. For details, see chapter

8.2

.

Viewing and editing interfaces

In the list of interfaces, WinRoute shows parameters related to firewall’s configuration and

operations:

Name

The unique name used for interface identification within WinRoute. It should be clear for

easy reference, e.g. Internet for the interface connected to the Internet connection.

The name can be edited later (see below) with no affect on WinRoute’s functionality.

The icon to the left of the name represents the interface type (network adapter, dial-up

connection, VPN server, VPN tunnel).

Note: Unless the name is edited manually, this item displays the name of the adapter as

assigned by the operating system (see the Adapter name entry).

IP Address and Mask

IP address and the mask of this interface’s subnet.

If the more IP addresses are set for the interface, the primary IP address will be displayed.

On Windows, the address assigned to the interface as first is considered as primary.

Status

Current status of the interface (up/down).

Internet

This information indicates the method the interface uses for Internet connection (pri-

mary/secondary connection, bandwidth used).

Details

Adapter identification string returned by the device driver.

System Name

The name of the adapter (e.g. “LAN connection 2”). The name is for reference only.

Gateway

IP address of the default gateway set for the particular interface.
