General Setup
The General Setup section is used to configure the protocol of an interface and all the different parameters that
go along with each protocol. If None protocol is chosen, all other interface settings will be ignored. The following
sections are different for each protocol.
General Setup: Static
The static protocol uses a predefined manual configuration instead of obtaining parameters automatically via a
DHCP lease.

Description
The IPv4 address interface of this interface. An IP
address identifies a device on a network and allows
it to communicate with other devices.
The IPv4 netmask of this interface. A netmask is
used to define how "large" a network is by specifying
which part of the IP address denotes the network
and which part denotes a device.
The IPv4 gateway address used by this interface. An
interface's default gateway is the default address
through which all outgoing traffic is directed.
The IPv4 broadcast address used by this interface. IP
broadcasts are used by BOOTP and DHCP clients to
find and send requests to their respective servers.
DNS server addresses that this interface will use. If
left empty, DNS servers are assigned automatically.
To see what DNS servers are currently used, you
can check the contents of the /tmp/resolv.conf.
auto file.
