Example: This provides a simple example to show you how to configure this feature. The 
example is usually based on the network topology in 
"
PREQUISITES or WHERE USED does not appear if there are no 
prerequisites or references in other features to this one. For example, no other 
features reference DDNS entries, so there is no WHERE USED entry.
5.4.2  Interface
See 
 for background information.
"
When you create an interface, no security is applied on it until you assign it to 
a zone.
Most of the features that use interfaces support Ethernet, VLAN, bridge, and PPPoE/PPTP 
interfaces. 
Example: The ge5 interface is in the DMZ-2 zone and uses a public IP address. To configure 
ge5’s settings, click Network > Interface > Ethernet and then ge5’s Edit icon. 
5.4.3  Trunks
Use trunks to set up load balancing using two or more interfaces.
PREREQUISITES
These are other features you should configure before you configure the main 
screen(s) for this feature.
If you did not configure one of the prerequisites first, you can often select an 
option to create a new object. After you create the object you return to the main 
screen to finish configuring the feature.
You may not have to configure everything in the list of prerequisites. For 
example, you do not have to create a schedule for a policy route unless time is 
one of the criterion.
WHERE USED
There are two uses for this.
These are other features you should usually configure or check right after you 
configure the main screen(s) for this feature. For example, you should usually 
create a policy route for a VPN tunnel.
You have to delete the references to this feature before you can delete any 
settings. For example, you have to delete (or modify) all the policy routes that 
refer to a VPN tunnel before you can delete the VPN tunnel.
