InVehicle Hotspot Gateway Chapter 1 Introduction Congratulations on your purchase of this outstanding product: In‐Vehicle Hotspot Gateway. For M2M (Machine‐to‐Machine) applications, AMIT In‐Vehicle Hotspot Gateway is absolutely the right choice. With built‐in world‐class 3G HSPA+ module, you just need to insert SIM card from local mobile carrier to get to Internet. The redundant SIM design provides a more reliable WAN connection for critical applications. By VPN tunneling technology, remote sites easily become a part of Intranet, and all data are transmitted in a secure (256‐bit AES encryption) link. To meet a variety of M2M application requirements, AMIT In‐Vehicle Hotspot Gateway products are based on modular design. A new functional module can replace current one to support new application in short time, such as for NFC or GPS applications. This VHG760AM‐0T001 product is loaded with luxuriant security features including VPN, firewall, NAT, port forwarding, DHCP server and many other powerful features for complex and demanding business and M2M (Machine‐to‐Machine) applications. The redundancy design in fallback 9‐36 VDC power terminal, dual SIM cards and VRRP function makes the device as a back‐up in power, network connection and data transmission without lost. Main Features: Provide various and configurable WAN connection. ...

Port‐based VLAN and Tag‐based VLAN. In Port‐based VLAN, all client hosts belong to the same group by transferring data via some physical ports that are tagged with same VLAN ID in the device. The ports of a VLAN form an independent traffic domain in which the traffic generated by the nodes remains within the VLAN. However, in Tag‐based VLAN, all packets with same VLAN ID will be treated as the same group of them and own same access property and QoS property. It is especially useful when individuals of a VLAN group are located at different location. The VLAN function allows you to divide local network into different “virtual LANs”. In some cases, ISP may need router to support “VLAN tag” for certain kinds of services (e.g. IPTV) to work 59 VHG760AM-0T001 User Manual...

2. OSPF Configuration: OSPF is an interior gateway protocol that routes Internet Protocol (IP) packets solely within a single routing domain (autonomous system). It gathers link state information from available routers and constructs a topology map of the network. The topology determines the routing table presented to the Internet Layer which makes routing decisions based solely on the destination IP address found in IP packets. 98 VHG760AM-0T001 User Manual...
Page 108
BGP does not use traditional Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) metrics, but makes routing decisions based on path, network policies and/or rule‐sets. For this reason, it is more appropriately termed a reach‐ability protocol rather than routing protocol. Figure 4‐110 BGP setting 99 VHG760AM-0T001 User Manual...
A routing table, or routing information base (RIB), is a data table stored in a router or a networked computer that lists the routes to particular network destinations, and in some cases, metrics (distances) associated with those routes.
