Summary

The LAN page is used to create and set up local area network interfaces.
This manual page provides an overview of the LAN windows in RUTX11 devices.

LAN

The LAN section displays LAN interfaces currently existing on this device.
If you hover mouse over the exclamation mark global IPv6 prefix assignment addresses will be displayed.
The Add New Instance section is used to create additional network interfaces. To create a new interface click the 'Add' button.
To begin configuring an interface, click the 'Edit' button on the right side of the interface:

Interface configuration

General settings

The General Settings section is used to configure the main parameters of LAN.
FieldValueDescription
Enableoff | on; default: onEnable interface
Namestring; default: lanName of the interface.
ProtocolStatic | None; default: Static
IPv4 addressip4; default: 192.168.1.1Your router's address on the network
IPv4 netmasknetmask; default: 255.255.255.0The 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.
Use WAN port as LAN / LAN to WAN; (functions depend on device specifications)-(interactive button)Use WAN port as a LAN port. You will lose the WAN connection. / Use LAN port as a WAN port. You will lose the LAN connection.
Enable DHCPv4off | on; default: onEnable DHCPv4 server.
Enable DHCPv6off | on; default: onEnable DHCPv6 server.

IPV6 settings

The IPV6 settings section is used to configure the IPv6 parameters of LAN.
FieldValueDescription
Delegate IPv6 prefixesoff | on; default: onEnable downstream delegation of IPv6 prefixes available on this interface.
IPv6 assignment lengthDisabled | 64 | Custom - integer [0..6]; default: 60Assign a part of given length of every public IPv6-prefix to this interface.
IPv6 assignment hintA hexadecimal string of symbols: a-f, A-F and 0-9 is accepted; default: noneAssign prefix parts using this hexadecimal subprefix ID for this interface.
IPv6 suffixAllowed values: "eui64", "random", fixed value like "::1" or "::1:2"; default: noneOptional. Allowed values: 'eui64', 'random', fixed value like '::1' or '::1:2'. When IPv6 prefix (like 'a:b:c:d::') is received from a delegating server, use the suffix (like '::1') to form the IPv6 address ('a:b:c:d::1') for the interface.

Advanced settings

The Advanced settings section is used to configure the advanced parameters of LAN.
FieldValueDescription
Force linkoff | on; default: onSet interface properties regardless of the link carrier (If set, carrier sense events do not invoke hotplug handlers).
Use gateway metricinteger[0..4294967295]; default: 0The configuration by default generates a routing table entry. In this field you can alter the metric of that entry. Lower metric means higher priority.
Override MAC addressMac address of six groups of two hexadecimal digits are accepted. E.g. 00:23:45:67:89:AB; default: noneOverride MAC address of the interface. For example, your ISP (Internet Service Provider) gives you a static IP address and it might also bind it to your computers MAC address (i.e., that IP will only work with your computer but not with your router). In this field you can select your computer’s MAC address and fool the gateway in to thinking that it is communicating with your computer. You can select the MAC address of a currently connected computer, or use a custom one. When changing MAC address on LAN interface be careful to avoid MAC address collisions.
Override MTUinteger [98..65535]; default: noneMaximum Transmission Unit (MTU) – specifies the largest possible size of a data packet.
IP4 tableValue must be a valid unsigned integer; default: noneIPv4 routing table for routes of this interface.

Physical settings

The Physical settings section is used to configure the physical parameters of LAN.
FieldValueDescription
Bridge interfacesoff | on; default: onCreates a bridge over specified interface(s).
Enable STPoff | on; default: offEnables the Spanning Tree Protocol on this bridge.
Enable IGMPoff | on; default: offEnables IGMP snooping on this bridge.
Interfacenetwork interface(s); default: lan physical interfacePhysical interface name to assign to this section, list of interfaces if type bridge is set.

Firewall settings

The Firewall settings section is used to configure the firewall parameters of LAN.
FieldValueDescription
Create / Assign firewall-zonefirewall zone; default: lanChoose the firewall zone you want to assign to this interface. Select 'Unspecified' to remove the interface from the associated zone or define a new zone and attach the interface to it.
