Interface Grouping

On the Advanced / Interface grouping page, you can assign virtual PVC connections to the
router's ports (create groups of interfaces), which allows distinguishing different types of traffic.
This function is mostly used in Triple-play networks. Also on the page you can configure the router
to connect to a private Ethernet line.
The Ethernet WAN function allows using any Ethernet port of the router to access the
!
Internet via Ethernet technology. When the function is enabled, the router is still able to
access the Internet via ADSL technology.
To use the functions of this page, first enable virtual ports for the Ethernet switch (select the
Enable virtual ports checkbox).
To enable the Ethernet WAN function, follow the steps below.
1. Select the choice corresponding to the LAN port that will be used as the WAN port of the
Ethernet WAN port radio button.
2. Select the needed choice of the Ethernet WAN type radio button.
Single service over one connection: if you need to assign one WAN connection to
•
the created Ethernet WAN interface.
VLAN MUX Mode: if you need to assign one or more tagged VLAN connections to the
•
created Ethernet WAN interface.
ServiceMUX Mode: if you need to assign several untagged connections to the created
•
Ethernet WAN interface.
3. Click the Save button.
To create a new rule for interface grouping (a group of ports), click the Add group button (the
button is not displayed if there is no WAN connection in the system).
