SonicWALL TZ 190 Manuale Utente

Before creating and adding a PortShield interface, think about why you are creating it and what 
role it will play in your network. To create and add a PortShield interface to the list of interfaces, 
perform the following steps:

Click on the Network > Interfaces page. 

The interfaces in the list contain the following information:

Name

A string that identifies the interface.

Zone

The zone to which the interface maps.

IP Address

The IP address assigned to the interface.

Subnet Mask

The subnetwork mask value assigned to the IP address to indicate a range of 
addresses.

IP Assignment

The method in which the interface obtains its IP address:

Static. Manually creating an explicit address to which you will map ports.

Transparent. Allows for the WAN subnetwork to be shared by the current 
interface using Address Object assignments. The interface’s IP address 
will be the same as the WAN interface IP address. Transparent mode is 
available on interfaces assigned to Trusted and Public Zones.

Status

Aggregate Ethernet Link port(s) status or Ethernet Link port(s) status 
summary, indicating the currently active highest speed and duplex properties.

Comment

A note about the interface.

Configure

Contains two icons. One icon is a grouping of books that displays traffic 
statistics when you hover the mouse cursor over it. The other icon is a pen 
and paper that enables you to launch an interface configuration session.
