Viewing interface information

The Interfaces page (Settings > Network > Interface tab) lets you manage and configure the physical (Ethernet) interface, DHCP, DDNS, and IP addresses, and displays network information and status.

There are two parts to this page: the Interfaces area and the Details area. Select an interface and click Edit to modify an interface.
