[. . . ] A [Private] interface connects to your LAN, such as the Ethernet interface. Packets received on a private interface are subject to a less restrictive set of protections, because they originate within the network. The term [DMZ] (de-militarized zone), in Internet networking terms, refers to computers that are available for both public and in-network accesses (such as a company's public Web server). Packets incoming on a DMZ interface - whether from a LAN or external source - are subject to a set of protections that is in between public and private interfaces in terms of restrictiveness. Interface Sec Type Protocol This is the type of PPP protocol used. Your ISP may use PPP-over-Ethernet ([PPPoE]) or PPP-over-ATM ([PPPoA]). This is the IP address currently assigned to your WAN (DSL) port by your ISP. This is the IP address of the server at your ISP that provides you access to the Internet. See Hops and gateways on page 86 for a description of gateway addresses. WAN IP Gateway IP 107 Configuring PPP Interfaces Field Default Route Description This field indicates whether the ADSL Barricade should use the IP address assigned to this connection as its default route. See Quick Start on page 7 for an explanation of default routes. When set to [Enable], the device will acquire additional IP information from the ISP's DHCP server. The PPP connection itself acquires the device's IP address, mask, DNS address, and default gateway address. With the DHCP enabled, the device will acquire IP addresses for other various server types (WINS, SMTP, POP3, etc. these server types are listed on the [DHCP Server Configuration] page). When set to [Enable], the DNS address learned through the PPP connection will be distributed to clients of the device's DHCP server. This option is useful only when the ADSL Barricade is configured to act as a DHCP Server for your LAN. When set to [Disable], LAN hosts will use the DNS address preconfigured in the DHCP pool (see Configuring DHCP Server on page 45) and in the DNS feature. Ths field indicates whether the link is currently up or down or if a specific type of data exchange is under way (e. g. , password authorization or DHCP). You can use these icons to modify ( ( ), and view additional details on ( interface. ), delete ) the PPP Use DHCP Use DNS Oper.
