Network Definitions

In Network Definitions is possible to configure the priorities of the interfaces of the network, private and public, from IPBrick. These priorities are: mode, IP address, mask, network address and broadcast address.

If IPBrick works as an Intranet server (IPBrick.I ), it is only necessary to configure the private interface. In this case, public interface (if the server where IPBrick is installed has got 2 network cards) may get with all the default configurations and it shall not have a network cable connected. If IPBrick works like a Communications server (iPBrick.c ) or if it accumulates the Intranet and Communications functions (iPBrick.i + iPBrick.c ), it is necessary to configure the two network interfaces (in these two situations, the server where IPBrick was installed, shall have two network cards).

To change the network interfaces definitions, it is necessary to click ETH0 and ETH1.

Notice: The private interface is the first network plate detected by IPBrick in the server where it was installed. If the server has a second network plate, this shall be configured as a public interface. The firewall is already configured by default with specific rules to recognise the ETH0 as a private interface and ETH1 as a public interface. If the server has more network cards (ETH2, ETH3...), they shall be considered as private. The ethernet cards MAC address should be associated to all the interfaces.
