The information in this page is updated in accordance with firmware version TSW2_R_01.10.

Summary

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

This manual page provides an overview of the Interfaces page in TSW202 devices.

Network Interfaces

The Network Interfaces section displays interfaces currently existing on this device.

Field	Value	Description
Status	Starting | Stopping | Obtaining IP | Running | Disabled | Inactive | - ; default: Disabled	Shows status of the interface. Starting: Interface is being enabled and initialized. Stopping: Interface is being disabled and shut down. Obtaining IP: Interface is requesting an IP address from a DHCPv4 or DHCPv6 server. Running: Interface is enabled and operating normally. Disabled: Interface is disabled and not operational. Inactive: Interface is not active due to dependency or configuration state. - : Status is not yet available while the page is loading.
Uptime	Time; default: none	Shows how long interface is running.
Protocol	Static | DHCPv4 client | DHCPv6 client; default: Static	Static: Interface is manually configured by user. DHCPv4 client: IPv4 only interface is automatically configured by DHCPv4 server. DHCPv6 client: IPv6 only interface is automatically configured by DHCPv6 server.
VLAN	vlan1; default: vlan1	Logical overlay network that will be used to isolate the traffic for each group of devices that share a physical LAN
IP address	string; default: none	Your router's address on the network

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.

Interfaces Setup

---

Field	Value	Description
Enable	off | on; default: off	Toggle interface on or off
Protocol	Static | DHCP | DHCPv6; default: Static	Operation protocol of a network interface. Possible modes: Static: Manually configured device with a constant IP address that never changes. DHCP: Protocol that automatically provides temporary IP address to the device that could change on a regular basis. DHCPv6: The primary distinction between DHCPv6 and DHCP is that DHCP uses MAC addresses to identify clients, whereas DHCPv6 uses Unique Identifiers.
VLAN	vlan1; default: vlan1	Logical overlay network that will be used to isolate the traffic for each group of devices that share a physical LAN
IPv4 address	string; default: none	Your router's address on the network
IPv4 netmask	netmask; default: 255.255.255.0	Netmask defines how 'large' a network is
IPv4 gateway	gateway; 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.
IPv6 address	IPv6; default: none	Assigns an IPv6 address for this interface. CIDR notation: address/prefix
IPv6 gateway	gateway; default: none	The IPv6 gateway address used by this interface. An interface's default gateway is the default address through which all outgoing traffic is directed.
DNS servers	default: none	Servers that will be used for matching website hostnames (e.g. example.com) to their corresponding Internet Protocol or IP addresses. Both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses may be used
