Add static IPv4 addresses to Single Firewall interfaces

Depending on the type of interface, you can add one or more static IPv4 addresses to Single Firewall interfaces.

For more details about the product and how to configure features, click Help or press F1.

Steps

  1. In the navigation pane on the left, browse to Interfaces.
  2. Right-click a physical interface, VLAN interface, SSID interface, or port group interface, then select New > IPv4 Address.
  3. In the IPv4 Address field, enter the IPv4 address.
  4. In the Netmask field, adjust the automatically added netmask if necessary.

    The Network Address and Broadcast IP address are updated accordingly.

  5. If the interface is used for system communications and NAT is applied, add contact addresses.
    1. If the default contact address is not dynamic, deselect Dynamic and enter the static contact address.
    2. If components from some locations must use a different IP address for contact, click Exceptions and define the location-specific addresses.
  6. If you want to use Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP), add a virtual router.
    Note: One virtual router can be configured for each physical interface, VLAN interface, or port group interface. Although VRRP support is also available, for port group interfaces, it is not normally used.
    1. Click VRRP Settings.
    2. Select Enable VRRP.
    3. Fill in the ID, Priority, and IPv4 Address fields according to the configuration of the virtual router.
    4. Click OK.
  7. Click OK.
    The IPv4 address is added to the interface.
  8. Click Save.
    Do not close the Engine Editor.
