Interface Group

21.1

Overview

By default, all LAN and WAN interfaces on the Device are in the same group and

can communicate with each other. You can create multiple groups to have the

Device assign the IP addresses in different domains to different groups. Each

group acts as an independent network on the Device.

21.1.1

What You Can Do in this Chapter

The

Interface Group

screen lets you create multiple networks on the Device

(

Section 21.2 on page 241

).

21.2

The Interface Group Screen

You can manually add a LAN interface to a new group. Alternatively, you can have

the Device automatically add the incoming traffic and the LAN interface on which

traffic is received to the new group when its source MAC address or DHCP option

information matches the predefined filtering criteria.

Use the

LAN

screen to configure the private IP addresses the DHCP server on the

Device assigns to the clients in the default and/or user-defined groups. If you set

the Device to assign IP addresses based on the client’s source MAC address or

DHCP option information, you must enable DHCP server and configure LAN TCP/IP

settings for both the default and user-defined groups. See

Chapter 6 on page 101

for more information.

In the following example, the client that sends packets with the source MAC

address 00:19:cb:01:23:45 is assigned the IP address 192.168.2.2 and uses the

WAN interface ptm0_2.
