Description

Interface Name

  • The name of the network interface card (NIC) with physical Ethernet ports.
  • The number of ports available depends on the system model.
  • If two ports are available, then the system can be configured to route inbound and outbound emails on separate ports.
  • This configuration is preferable because it provides the best network bandwidth.
  • If a single ethernet post is available then both incoming and outgoing emails are routed via the same port.
  • This may result in network bottlenecks, but can be used for organizations with relatively low mail traffic.

IPv4

The IPv4 address assigned to the port.

IPv4 Netmask

The IPv4 netmask address assigned to the port.

IPv6

The IPv6 address assigned to the port.

IPv6 Prefixlen

The prefix of the IPv6 address.

Status

Indicates whether the interface is enable or disabled. The link toggles between 'Active' and 'Inactive' statuses. Click on the link to make the interface 'Active' or 'Inactive'.

 SMTP Outgoing IP Sets the corresponding interface IP address as SMTP outgoing IP address. Clicking 'Select' applies the setting after a confirmation dialogue.
