Ethernet¶
Ethernet interfaces operate in Layer-3 routing mode by default. Interfaces are automatically created when a device is onboarded using a standard template. Additional interfaces can be added manually if needed.
GUI Configuration¶
Navigate to Device Settings → Network → Interfaces.
The Interfaces list shows all configured interfaces with their current state:
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | Interface identifier (e.g., eth0, eth1, vlan10) |
| Type | Interface type — Ethernet (Physical), VLAN, Loopback, VXLAN Tunnel, etc. |
| Enable | Toggle to administratively enable or disable the interface |
| Operating Status | Live link state and traffic throughput (Tx/Rx Kbps or Mbps) |
| IP / Network | Assigned IP address(es) and prefix |
| DHCP Server | Summary of DHCP server pool range configured on this interface |
| Members | Member interfaces (for bridge or bond types) |
| Description | Optional label assigned to the interface |
To add a new interface, click + Add Interface and select the interface type from the dropdown.
Available interface types include:
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Ethernet (Physical) | Layer-3 routed physical port |
| VLAN (Sub-interface) | 802.1Q tagged sub-interface on a physical port |
| Bond (LACP/802.3ad) | Link aggregation group for bandwidth or redundancy |
| Bridge (Software Switch) | Layer-2 software bridge combining multiple ports |
| GRE TAP (Layer 2) | GRE tunnel operating in Layer-2 TAP mode |
| Loopback | Virtual loopback interface |
Assign a name to the new interface (or click on an existing interface name) to open the edit form.
Settings¶
Basic Settings¶
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Ethernet Interface Name | Physical interface identifier (e.g., eth0, eth1). This maps directly to the OS-level interface name. |
| Admin Status | Enable or disable the interface administratively |
| IPv4 Address | Set to Static IPv4 Address to manually assign an IP, or DHCP to obtain one from an upstream server |
| IP Address / Prefix | One or more IPv4 addresses in CIDR notation (e.g., 192.168.8.1/22). Click + Add IPv4 Address/Prefix to assign additional IPs. |
| IPv6 Address | IPv6 address assignment (optional) |
| Description | Free-text label for this interface |
Note
Multiple IPv4 and IPv6 addresses can be assigned to a single interface. The first (primary) IP is used as the source address for routing decisions and DHCP server pool anchoring.
Other Settings¶
Click each option to expand and configure it:
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| DynDNS | Enable Dynamic DNS updates for this interface's IP address |
| Enable Tracking | Enable interface tracking for VRRP failover or link-state monitoring |
| Link Speed/Duplex | Override auto-negotiation — set speed to 10, 100, or 1000 Mbps and duplex to auto, full, or half (default: 1000 / auto) |
| MTU | Maximum Transmission Unit in bytes (default: 1500). Reduce for tunneled interfaces to avoid fragmentation. |
| Proxy ARP | Enable Proxy ARP so the device responds to ARP requests on behalf of hosts on other subnets |
| VRRP (High Availability) | Configure VRRP for gateway redundancy on this interface |
| Route Metric | Set the administrative distance/metric for routes via this interface |
| Netflow Export | Enable NetFlow traffic export on this interface for flow-based monitoring |
| VRF | Assign the interface to a VRF instance for network segmentation |
