The Interfaces page is used to to set up network interfaces.
This manual page provides an overview of the Interfaces windows in RUTX11 devices.
If you’re having trouble finding this page or some of the parameters described here on your device’s WebUI, you should turn on “Advanced WebUI” mode. You can do that by clicking the “Basic” button under “Mode”, which is located at the top-right corner of the WebUI.
The Network Interfaces section displays interfaces currently existing on this device.
The Add Interface section is used to create additional network interfaces. To create a new interface, simply enter a custom name for it and click the ‘Add’ button.
This section provides information on network interface configuration. There are three major types of interfaces on the device:
Each type utilizes generally utilizes these interface protocols:
To begin configuring an interface, click the ‘Edit’ button on the right side of the interface:
This section covers all parameters directly related to a network interface.
The General Setup section is used to configure the protocol and all the different parameters that go along with each protocol. This section is different for each protocol.
The static protocol uses a predefined manual configuration instead of obtaining parameters automatically via a DHCP lease.
The DHCP protocol is used to set up an interface which obtains its configuration parameters automatically via a DHCP lease.
The DHCPv6 protocol is used to set up an IPv6 interface which obtains its configuration parameters automatically via a DHCP lease.
The PPPoE protocol is used to set up a PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) connection over the Ethernet port.
The Mobile protocol is used to set up an interface which can establish a mobile WAN connection.
The Advanced Settings section is used to set up some of the more specific and less frequently used interface parameters. This section is different for each protocol.
Advanced Settings information for Static protocol is provided in the table below.
Advanced Settings information for DHCP protocol is provided in the table below.
Advanced Settings information for DHCPv6 protocol is provided in the table below.
Advanced Settings information for PPPoE protocol is provided in the table below.
Advanced Settings information for Mobile protocol is provided in the table below.
The Physical Settings section is used to create associations with physical interfaces and bridge network interfaces.
The Firewall Settings section is used to specify to which firewall zone if any this interface belongs.
A DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server is a service that can automatically configure the TCP/IP settings of any device that requests such a service. If you connect a device that has been configured to obtain an IP address automatically, the DHCP server will lease out an IP address from the available IP pool and the device will be able to communicate within the private network.
In order to view the DHCP server configuration, the interface protocol must be set to Static.
The General Setup section is used to set up the main operating parameters of the DHCP server.
* When an interface is set to act as a DHCP Relay, it redirects all received DHCP request messages to another specified DHCP server:
Refer to the table below for information on the Advanced Settings section.
Refer to the table below for information on the IPv6 Settings section.
Static IP leases are used to reserve specific IP addresses for specific devices by binding them to their MAC address. This is useful when you have a stationary device connected to your network that you need to reach frequently, e.g., printer, IP phone, etc.
This section displays static IP leases currently existing on this device.
In order to view the Static Lease section, the interface protocol must be set to Static.
To access a lease’s settings page, click the ‘Edit’ button located to the right of the lease:
You should be directed to a window that looks like this:
The Add Lease section is used to create new static leases. To create a new lease, simply enter a custom name for it and click the ‘Add’ button.
The Relay Configuration section is used to relay and dynamically redirect incoming connections to a target host. Its main purpose is extending the wireless network. For example, when the device is in Wireless Station (client) mode, it can be used to bridge WAN and LAN interfaces to create a larger wireless network.
In order to view the Relay Configuration section, the interface protocol must be set to Static.
The Mobile Data Limit section provides you with the possibility to set data usage limits for your mobile network interfaces and data usage warnings via SMS message in order to protect yourself from unwanted data charges.
In order to view the Mobile Data Limit section, the interface protocol must be set to Mobile.
