  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 level of protection that is in between those for public and private 
interfaces. 
Lower interface: EoA interfaces are defined in software, and then associated with lower-level 
software and hardware structures (at the lowest level, they are associated with a physical port 
- the WAN port). This field should reflect an interface name defined in the next lower level of 
software over which the EoA interface will operate. This will be an ATM VC interface, such as 
aal5-0. 
Config IP Address and Net Mask: The IP address and network mask you want to assign to 
the interface. If the interface will be used for bridging with your ISP and you will not be using 
the device as a router on your LAN, then you do not need to specify IP information. If you 
enable DHCP for this interface, then the Configured IP address will serve only as a request to 
the DHCP server. The actual address that is assigned by the ISP may differ if this address is 
not available. 
Use DHCP: When enabled, this setting instructs the device to accept IP information assigned 
dynamically by your ISP's DHCP server. If the interface will be used for bridging with your ISP 
and you will not be routing data through it, leave this checkbox unselected. 
Default Route: Indicates whether the ADSL/Ethernet router should use the IP address 
assigned to this interface, if any, as its default route for your LAN. This can be Enable or 
Disable. 
Gateway Address: The external IP address that the ADSL/Ethernet router communicates with 
via the EoA interface to gain access to the Internet. This is typically an ISP server. 
Status: A green or red ball will display to indicate that the interface is currently up or down, 
respectively. You cannot manually enable or disable the interface; a down interface may 
indicate a problem with the DSL connection or the connection to the ISP's access server. 
Action: Icons you can click on to edit (
) or delete ( ) the associated EoA interface.
