The Hosting Interface drop-down menu is populated with a list of the
physical interfaces present on the system. Select the physical
interface over which you wish this virtual interface's traffic to flow.
The VLAN tag text field should be populated with the required VLAN
tag. This identifies packets sent over this interface as belonging to the
specified VLAN.
The Description text field can be edited to provide a more useful name
for the interface.
The Enable interface check-box can be ticked in order to enable the
interface or cleared in order to disable it. No other configuration
settings are changed when the interface is disabled, allowing use of the
interface to be suspended without deleting the configuration.
The Startup enable check-box controls whether the interface is
enabled automatically when the unit boots.
The Configuration method drop-down menu offers the following
choices:
•
Static - The interface will take its address and routing
parameters from values entered by the operator.
•
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) - The interface
will attempt to obtain its address and routing parameters
from a DHCP server with a matching VLAN tag.
•
Powered off - The interface will not be used and the interface
chip is disabled, reducing the total power consumption by
around 200mW.
The remainder of the screen looks like this:
