NETWORK

Network

Adapters, roles, DHCP and network service objects.

Adapters

Assign each adapter a role. The internet side (WAN) gets its address from your router; the client side (LAN) keeps a fixed address so this appliance can serve DHCP and DNS. Renaming is per adapter.

Appliance identity

Rename the appliance itself.

Kea DHCP

Addresses handed to client devices. The interface follows the LAN adapter automatically.

Network service objects

Fixed addresses, local names and published services.

DHCP reservation

Local DNS record

Port forward

ACCOUNTABILITY

Audit log

Administrator, licensing, and deployment activity.

Which network adapter goes where?

Plug one adapter into the side that reaches your internet router (WAN) and the other into the side that reaches your client devices (LAN). Then select them below — the labels you set on the Interfaces page appear here too.
