WAN information
The WAN item of the Status menu lists basic information about WAN interface as well as the statistics of data carried through the interface. The WAN section presents basic information about the WAN interface:
- WAN IP type: IP address type of the WAN interface,
- IP address: IP address used by the WAN interface,
- Subnet mask: subnet mask used by the WAN interface,
- Default gateway: default gateway configured for the WAN interfaceMAC address: interface’s physical address,
- DNS: two IP addresses are displayed; 0.0.0.0 is shown if DHCP server option provided only single DNS server.
The WAN counters section displays statistical information about data:
- Status: current status of a given interface, either Up or Down,
- Pkts in: number of incoming packets in the current session,
- Pkts out: number of outgoing packets in the current session,
- Errors: transmission error counter,
- Collisions: collision counter,
- Speed: negotiated speed (FD1000 - Full Duplex at 1000Mbps, FD100 - Full Duplex at 100Mbps, FD10 - Full Duplex at 10Mbps, HD100 - Half Duplex at 100Mbps, HD10 - Half Duplex at 10Mbps).
The WAN information can be refreshed at any time with the Refresh button. As this menu does not include any configurable options, the Reset, Save, and Apply buttons are disabled
LAN information
The LAN item of the Status main menu allows to obtain information about the LAN interfaces and to configure static IP leases for connected devices. The LAN section contains the following general information about the LAN interface:
- IP type: IP type of the LAN interface,
- IP address: IP address used by the LAN interface,
- Subnet mask: subnet mask used by the LAN interface,
- Default gateway: default gateway configured for the LAN interface,
- MAC address: interface’s physical address. The Counters section displays statistical information about data:
- Status: current status of a given interface, either Up or Down,
- Pkts in: number of incoming packets,
- Pkts out: number of outgoing packets, • Errors: transmission error counter,
- Collisions: collision counter,
- Speed: negotiated speed (FD1000 - Full Duplex at 1000Mbps, FD100 - Full Duplex at 100Mbps, FD10 - Full Duplex at 10Mbps, HD100 - Half Duplex at 100Mbps, HD10 - Half Duplex at 10Mbps). The Dynamic Leases section contains information about devices connected to LAN interfaces which have dynamically assigned IP address. Each device is described with the following parameters: • IP address: IP address assigned to a device,
- MAC Address: physical address of a connected device,
- Hostname: connected device’s hostname,
- Expires: lease time of the device’s address,
Remember: dynamic lease can be turned into a static lease using the Make static button. When the button is clicked the entry will be visible in the Static Leases section.
The Static Leases section: in order to manually add a static lease apply the following steps:
1. In the IP address field enter IP address of a device to be connected.
2. In the MAC Address field enter MAC address of the device.
3. In the Hostname field enter the device’s name.
4. Check the Enable box if the lease is to be enabled right away. Leave the box blank if the device will be enabled later.
5. To add the lease to the list click the Add button.
6. Save changes by clicking the Save button. Clicking the Apply button is required to apply changes to the database. The LAN information can be refreshed at any with the Refresh button.
