Auto-reconnect
The CN3000 will automatically attempt to reconnect if the connection is lost.
Un-numbered mode
This feature is useful when the CN3000 is connected to the Internet and NAT is not
being used. Instead of assigning two IP addresses to the CN3000, one to the Internet
port and one to the LAN port, both ports can share a single IP address.
This is especially useful when a limited number of IP addresses are available to you.
Assigned by PPPoE server
These settings are assigned to the CN3000 by your ISP's PPPoE server. The Internet
connection is not active until this occurs.
Service provider
Identifies your Internet service provider. Not all ISPs provide this information.
Connection status
Indicates the state of the PPPoE connection. If the connection is not active, a message
indicates why.
IP address
Identifies the IP address assigned to the CN3000 by the ISP.
Mask
Identifies the subnet mask that corresponds to the assigned IP address.
Primary DNS address
Identifies the IP address of the main DNS server the CN3000 will use to resolve DNS
requests.
Secondary DNS address
Identifies the IP address of the backup server the CN3000 will use to resolve DNS
requests.
Default gateway
Identifies the IP address of the gateway the CN3000 will forward all outbound traffic to.
Restart Connection button
Click this button to manually establish the PPPoE connection. During normal operation,
you will not need to do this because the CN3000 will automatically reconnect if the
PPPoE connection is interrupted. However, for certain types of connection failures, the
CN3000 may not be able to re-establish the connection, even after several retries. When
this occurs, the cause of the failure is displayed in the Connection status field and you
must click the Restart Connection button to manually establish the connection.
