Summary

The Interfaces page is used to to set up network interfaces.

This manual page provides an overview of the Users windows in {{{name}}} 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 "Advanced" button, located at the top of the WebUI.

Network Interfaces

The Network Interfaces section displays currently

Add Interface

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.

Interface configuration

This section provides information on network interface configuration. There are {{{no_of_if}}} major types of interfaces on the device:

Ethernet LAN -

Each types utilizes

	None	Static	DHCP	DHCPv6	PPPoE	Mobile
Ethernet LAN

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.

General Setup

The General Setup section is used to configure the protocol and all the different parameters that go along with each protocol.

General Setup: Static

The static protocol uses a predefined manual configuration instead of obtaining parameters automatically via a DHCP lease.

Field	Value	Description
IPv4 address	ip4; default[for LAN]: 192.168.1.1	The IPv4 address interface of this interface. An IP address identifies a device on a network and allows it to communicate with other devices.
IPv4 netmask	netmask; default[for LAN]: 255.255.255.0	The IPv4 netmask of this interface. A netmask is used to define how "large" a network is by specifying which part of the IP address denotes the network and which part denotes a device.
IPv4 gateway	ip4; default: none	The IPv4 gateway address used by this interface. An interface's default gateway is the default address through which all outgoing traffic is directed.
IPv4 broadcast	ip4; default: none	The IPv4 broadcast address used by this interface. IP broadcasts are used by BOOTP and DHCP clients to find and send requests to their respective servers.
DNS servers	ip4; default: none	DNS server addresses that this interface will use. If left empty, DNS servers are assigned automatically. To see what DNS servers are currently used, you can check the contents of the /tmp/resolv.conf.auto file.

General Setup: DHCP

The DHCP protocol is used to set up an interface which obtains its configuration parameters automatically via a DHCP lease.

Field	Value	Description
Hostname to send when requesting DHCP	string; default: none	A hostname for this interface used to identify this machine on the DHCP server.

General Setup: DHCPv6

The DHCPv6 protocol is used to set up an IPv6 interface which obtains its configuration parameters automatically via a DHCP lease.

Field	Value	Description
Request IPv6-address	try \| force \| disabled ; default: try	Defines the behaviour for requesting an address.
Request IPv6-prefix of length	integer [0..64] \| Automatic \| disabled ; default: Automatic	Defines how this will request a IPv6 ULA-Prefix length. If set to 'disabled' the interface will obtain a single IPv6 address without a subnet for routing.

General Setup: PPPoE

The PPPoE protocol is used to set up a PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) connection over the Ethernet port(in this case: an Ethernet connection simulated over the USB port).

Field	Value	Description

Field	Value	Description
PAP/CHAP username	string; default: none	Username used in PAP/CHAP authentication.
PAP/CHAP password	string; default: none	Password used in PAP/CHAP authentication.
Access Concentrator	string; default: none	The Access Concentrator to connect to. ISPs used Access Concentrators to route their PPPoE connections. Usually, the settings are received automatically, however in some cases it is required to specify the name for an Access Concentrator. Leave empty to detect Access Concentrators automatically.
Service name	string; default: none	The Service Name to connect to. Leave empty to detect Service name automatically.

Bridge *; default: NAT Mobile connection operating mode.

NAT - the mobile connection uses NAT (network address translation).
Bridge - bridges the LTE data connection with LAN. In this mode the router relay the IP address received from the ISP to another LAN device (e.g., computer). Using Bridge mode will disable most of the router’s capabilities and you will only be able to access your router's WebUI with a static IP configuration.
