Each field is described in the following table.

Ethernet Edit
The
Ethernet Edit
screen lets you configure IP address assignment, interface
parameters, RIP settings, OSPF settings, DHCP settings, connectivity check, and
MAC address settings. To access this screen, click an
Edit
icon in the

Configuration
screen is shown here as an example.
Note: If you create IP address objects based on an interface’s IP address, subnet, or
gateway, the ZyWALL automatically updates every rule or setting that uses the
object whenever the interface’s IP address settings change. For example, if you
change LAN1’s IP address, the ZyWALL automatically updates the
corresponding interface-based, LAN1 subnet address object.
With RIP, you can use Ethernet interfaces to do the following things.
