Chapter 5: Network Tab
The Network → Interfaces tab shows an overview of
the network interfaces. You can view and configure
the interfaces of the local area network (LAN) zone as
well as the wide area network (WAN) zone. Network
address translation (NAT) occurs between these two
network zones. The radio that performs the NAT is
called a gateway. A gateway is a network point that
acts as an entrance to another network.
The Network column shows that the WAN zone has
the physical port “eth1” as its interface.
In Figure 38, the LAN zone (icon with two Ethernet
ports) has the bridged interface “br-lan” which
consists of one physical port (icon with one Ethernet
port) and two wireless networks (tower icons) on the
device. Hovering the mouse over each icon would
give the name of the interface it represents. In this
example, the infotip shows that there is a (virtual)
client on the device with “Altum_AC600” as its
network name.
5.1 Interfaces – WAN
The Network → Interfaces → WAN page configures
the interface for the WAN zone.
