In WinRoute, it is specify to specify a special name for each interface (names taken from

the operating system can be confusing and the new name may make it clear). It is also

possible to change the group of the interface (Internet, secure local network, another

network — e.g.

DMZ

).

It is also possible to change the default gateway and edit parameters of DNS servers. In

the Software Appliance / VMware Virtual Appliance edition, all parameters of the network

interface can be set in this dialog.

For dial-ups it is also possible to set login data and dialing options (see chapter

6.2

).

For VPN server and VPN tunnels, a dialog for setting of the VPN server (see chapter

23.1

)

or a VPN tunnel (refer to chapter

23.3

) will be opened.

Remove

Removes the selected interface from WinRoute. This can be done under the following

conditions:

the interface is an inactive (disabled) VPN tunnel,

the network adapter is not active or it is not physically present,

the interface is a dial-up which no longer exists in the system.

Network cards and dial-ups defined in the operating system as well as established VPN

tunnels cannot be removed in WinRoute.

Note:

1.

Records related to network cards or dial-ups that do not exist any longer (those that

have been removed) do not affect WinRoute’s functionality — such interfaces are con-

sidered as inactive (as in case of a hung-up dial-up).

2.

When an adapter is removed, the Nothing value is automatically used for correspond-

ing items of all traffic rules where the interface was used. These rules will be disabled.

This ensures that the traffic policy is not endangered (for details, refer to chapter

7.3

).

Dial or Hang Up / Enable, Disable

Function of these buttons depend on the interface selected:

For dial-up, PPTP and PPPoE connections, the Dial and Hang-up buttons are avail-

able and they are used to handle the line by hand.

Note: Users with appropriate rights can also control dial-ups in the user web

interface (see chapter

15.2

and the Kerio WinRoute Firewall — User’s Guide).

For VPN tunnels, the Enable and Disable buttons are available that can be used to

enable /disable the VPN tunnel selected for details, see chapter

23.3

).

In the Software Appliance / VMware Virtual Appliance edition, it is also possible

to block individual network adapters.

If the Dial-in interface or a VPN server is selected, these buttons are inactive.
