10.4.1  The Ethernet Edit Screen
Click Network > Interface > Ethernet and then the interface’s Edit icon to display the 
Ethernet Edit screen. Use the Ethernet Edit screen to configure an Ethernet interface’s 
properties, IP address assignment settings, interface parameters, RIP settings, OSPF settings, 
connectivity check settings, and MAC address settings. 
For the WAN and OPT interfaces you can click the Wizard tab to configure just the key 
settings. See 
 for details.
The OPT interface’s Edit > Configuration screen is shown here as an example. The screens 
for other interfaces are similar and contain a subset to the OPT interface screen’s fields.

DESCRIPTION
#
This field is a sequential value, and it is not associated with any interface.
Name
This field displays the name of the interface.
IP Address
This field displays the current IP address of the interface. If the IP address is 
0.0.0.0, the interface does not have an IP address yet.
This screen also shows whether the IP address is a static IP address (STATIC
or dynamically assigned (DHCP). IP addresses are always static in virtual 
interfaces.
Mask
This field displays the interface’s subnet mask in dot decimal notation.
