Interface 
Parameters
Egress 
Bandwidth
Enter the maximum amount of traffic, in kilobits per second, the ZyWALL can 
send through the interface to the network. Allowed values are 0 - 1048576.
Ingress 
Bandwidth
This is reserved for future use.
Enter the maximum amount of traffic, in kilobits per second, the ZyWALL can 
receive from the network through the interface. Allowed values are 0 - 1048576.
MTU
Maximum Transmission Unit. Type the maximum size of each data packet, in 
bytes, that can move through this interface. If a larger packet arrives, the 
ZyWALL divides it into smaller fragments. Allowed values are 576 - 1500. 
Usually, this value is 1500.
DHCP Setting
DHCP
Select what type of DHCP service the ZyWALL provides to the network. 
Choices are:
None - the ZyWALL does not provide any DHCP services. There is already a 
DHCP server on the network.
DHCP Relay - the ZyWALL routes DHCP requests to one or more DHCP 
servers you specify. The DHCP server(s) may be on another network.
DHCP Server - the ZyWALL assigns IP addresses and provides subnet mask, 
gateway, and DNS server information to the network. The ZyWALL is the DHCP 
server for the network.
These fields appear if the ZyWALL is a DHCP Relay.
Relay Server 1
Enter the IP address of a DHCP server for the network.
Relay Server 2
This field is optional. Enter the IP address of another DHCP server for the 
network.
These fields appear if the ZyWALL is a DHCP Server.
IP Pool Start 
Address
Enter the IP address from which the ZyWALL begins allocating IP addresses. If 
you want to assign a static IP address to a specific computer, click Add Static 
DHCP.
If this field is blank, the Pool Size must also be blank. In this case, the ZyWALL 
can assign every IP address allowed by the interface’s IP address and subnet 
mask, except for the first address (network address), last address (broadcast 
address) and the interface’s IP address.
Pool Size
Enter the number of IP addresses to allocate. This number must be at least one 
and is limited by the interface’s Subnet Mask. For example, if the Subnet Mask 
is 255.255.255.0 and IP Pool Start Address is 10.10.10.10, the ZyWALL can 
allocate 10.10.10.10 to 10.10.10.254, or 245 IP addresses.
If this field is blank, the IP Pool Start Address must also be blank. In this case, 
the ZyWALL can assign every IP address allowed by the interface’s IP address 
and subnet mask, except for the first address (network address), last address 
(broadcast address) and the interface’s IP address.
First DNS Server
Second DNS 
Server
Third DNS 
Server
Specify the IP addresses of a maximum of three DNS servers that the network 
can use. The ZyWALL provides these IP addresses to DHCP clients. Use one of 
the following ways to specify these IP addresses.
Custom Defined - enter a static IP address.
From ISP - select the DNS server that another interface received from its DHCP 
server.
ZyWALL - the ZyWALL uses the IP address of this interface and works as a 
DNS relay.
