3.3.4.2.5 WAN/LAN/PPP interface management<br />

Thanks to its 2 ethernet interfaces (2005/4005), since firmware 5, the <strong>eWON</strong> makes a strong distinction between the WAN interface and the LAN<br />

interface.<br />

3.3.4.2.5.1 LAN (Local Area Network)<br />

In the <strong>eWON</strong>, the LAN is the ethernet interface connected to a local network.<br />

It is simply an ethernet interface with no specific properties.<br />

3.3.4.2.5.2 WAN (Wide Area Network)<br />

In the <strong>eWON</strong>, the WAN is the (ethernet) interface connected on Internet.<br />

That means:<br />

- WAN could be an ethernet or an outgoing modem (PPP) connection<br />

- WAN is active only when the connection is pulled up<br />

- WAN has some properties like:<br />

• Being able to publish its IP address<br />

• Being able to establish VPN when WAN is active<br />

• Can be configured for NAT and Transparent Forwarding<br />

• Being protected according to the configuration<br />

• Can be configured for Static Routes<br />

• Can be configured for Proxy rules<br />
