IP Interfaces
X Family LSM User’s Guide V 2.5.1 145
After you have configured the basic options for the internal IP interface, you can manage the security
zones associated with the interface, or configure routing in the Advanced Options section. For details,
see the following topics:
• “Manage Security Zones for IP Interfaces” on page 149
• “Configuring Routing for IP Interfaces” on page 150
External Interface: DHCP Configuration
If your ISP has told you to use DHCP, or you are connecting to a device that provides the IP
configuration for the device using DHCP, select DHCP. With DHCP, you can confirm the configuration
settings by requesting a DHCP lease. If the interface is down, DHCP attempts to auto-connect until the
connection establishes.
Configure DHCP on the External IP interface
STEP 1
From the LSM menu, select Network > Configuration > IP Interfaces.
STEP 2
On the IP Interfaces page, click Create IP Interface button or select the Edit icon for the
interface that you want to edit.
STEP 3
On the Create/Edit IP Interface page, select the External interface.
STEP 4
In the External Interface Configuration table, in the External Interface Type drop-down
list field, select DHCP.
STEP 5
Click Save.
Click Cancel to return to the IP Interfaces page without saving the changes.
After configuring the basic options for the internal IP interface, you can manage the security zones
associated with the interface, or configure routing in the Advanced Options section. For details, see
the following topics:
• “Manage Security Zones for IP Interfaces” on page 149
• “Configuring Routing for IP Interfaces” on page 150
External Interface: PPTP Client Configuration
Select PPTP client if your ISP is using PPTP to provide the IP configuration for the device, or you wish
to use a PPTP tunnel for all WAN traffic (to connect back to the main office site, for example). After
configuring the PPTP client, you can confirm the settings by pressing the Connect button.
Note You can only configure one External Interface on the device.
Note Use of a PPTP client requires the device to have a valid IP configuration for
the external Virtual Interface on the local network. This IP configuration can be
provided by DHCP or specified via the "Local IP" parameters as shown in Step 6.
