Using Ethernet devices in a WAN

The IX30 device has two Ethernet devices, named ETH1 and ETH2. You can use these Ethernet interfaces as a WAN when connecting to the Internet, through a device such as a cable modem:

By default, the WAN/ETH1 Ethernet device is configured as a WAN, named ETH1, with both DHCP and NAT enabled and using the External firewall zone. This means you should be able to connect to the Internet by connecting the WAN/ETH1 Ethernet port to another device that already has an internet connection.

The ETH2 device is configured as a LAN interface, named ETH2, which uses the Internal firewall zone.
