Adding new interface IP addresses

Prerequisite

Note: You can't delete IP addresses that are assigned elsewhere, for example, used as part of a port forwarding rule or source NAT policy.

Procedure

    1. On the NETWORK menu, under the Configuration submenu, click Interfaces.
    2. Within the interface section, click IP addresses to show the Attached addresses table.
    3. To add a new IP address for a PPPoE interface connection enter the alias IP address, otherwise:
      1. Click Add new IP address and select whether this IP address is assigned a static IP address (Static IPv4), or an IP address assigned via DHCP (DHCP IPv4).
  1. Enter the IP address for this interface.
  2. Enter the subnet mask for the IP address.
  3. If traffic from this IP address needs to go through a Gateway, select "User defined", and either enter it into the box provided, or choose it from the list. Else, leave "None" selected.
  4. If multiple gateways are configured and used, enter the minimum bandwidth used to load balance traffic among connections. If a single gateway is configured, load balancing is not used. Therefore, this parameter can remain set to 1.
  5. Select to turn on Connection monitoring for this gateway.
  1. If multiple gateways are configured and used, enter the minimum bandwidth used to load balance traffic among connections. If a single gateway is configured, load balancing is not used. Therefore, this parameter can remain set at 1. Select whether the configured value is in kilobits per second (kbps), or in megabits per second (Mbps).
  2. Select to turn on connection monitoring for this gateway.
  3. Enter the DHCP device hostname as specified by the DHCP server.
    1. Click Add.
