What are defined here are the parameters of the interface card necessary to map out the parameters of your xDSL access. Most of the parameters will have been chosen or filled out with standard values already: simply verify that they correspond to your needs.
IP Address (ex: 10.0.0.1) | 10.0.0.1 |
Fill out this field if you have a static IP address for that interface. Be sure it is the one assigned to you.
Subnet Mask (ex: 255.0.0.0) | 255.255.255.0 |
Fill out this field with the subnet mask of the network this interface is connected to. Make sure it is the one you have been assigned.
Default Gateway (ex: 10.0.0.138) | 10.0.0.250 |
This is the gateway through which your Internet requests will pass. This parameter is crucial for your firewall machine to reach the Internet.
Finally, you can decide whether this interface will be activated on each boot or not.
