Note: When you create an interface, there is no security applied on it until you assign 

it to a zone.

Most of the features that use interfaces support Ethernet, PPPoE/PPTP, cellular, 
VLAN, and bridge interfaces. 

Use trunks to set up load balancing using two or more interfaces.

Example: See 

Use policy routes to override the ZyWALL’s default routing behavior in order to 
send packets through the appropriate interface or VPN tunnel. You can also use 
policy routes for bandwidth management (out of the ZyWALL), port triggering, 
and general NAT on the source address. You have to set up the criteria, next-hops, 
and NAT settings first.
