Interface Properties
Interface Type This field is configurable for the OPT interface only. Select to which type of network you will
connect this interface. When you select internal or external the rest of the screen’s options
automatically adjust to correspond. The Zyxel Device automatically adds default route and
SNAT settings for traffic it routes from internal interfaces to external interfaces; for example
LAN to WAN traffic.
internal is for connecting to a local network. Other corresponding configuration options:
DHCP server and DHCP relay. The Zyxel Device automatically adds default SNAT settings for
traffic flowing from this interface to an external interface.
external is for connecting to an external network (like the Internet). The Zyxel Device
automatically adds this interface to the default WAN trunk.
For general, the rest of the screen’s options do not automatically adjust and you must
manually configure a policy route to add routing and SNAT settings for the interface.
Interface Name Specify a name for the interface. It can use alphanumeric characters, hyphens, and
underscores, and it can be up to 11 characters long.
