act as a LAN port. 3.2.2 LAN Menu of LAN are mainly for configuring IP address of router, enabling DHCP server, and assign the IP address. The meaning of the parameters are as follows. 1) IPv4 Address To configure IP address of LAN port. 2) IPv4 Netmask The netmask of LAN port IP address.
3) IPv4 Gateway Specify the next-hop routing gateway. 4) DHCP Settings Disable DHCP Click to disable DHCP server. Start Assign the IP address of DHCP server. For example, 100 means IP address starts from 192.168.1.100. Limit Assignable number of IP address, to ensure numbers of IP address of start and limit not exceed 250.

1) Detection Type There are 3 types: ping, traceroute and DNS. Ping Router will ping an IP address or DNS, if works, that means router is online. Traceroute Traceroute will trace routing path, if achieves the target address, that means router is online.
4) Retry Times You can set up retry time in case detection fails. 5) Retry Interval The interval time between 2 detection. 6) Enable Reboot Click enable, and router will reboot within the time set if it fails to reconnect. 7) Reboot After Interval You can specify the time for offline, to reboot the router.
2) Traceroute Click traceroute, then you can see similar reponse as below. 3) Nslookup Click nslookup, then you can see similar reponse as below. 3.3 Security Menu of Security are for configuring the firewall, to ensure the security of accessing to internet, and implement the port forwarding, access control, data packet filtering, and other functions.
3.3.1 DMZ Host DMZ can forward the port of WAN to a host of LAN; all packet from WAN will be forwarded to specified host of LAN. 1) DMZ You can enable or disable the DMZ. 2) DMZ Host An IP address of a host of LAN you want to map. 3.2.2 Port Forwarding Comparing with DMZ, Port Forwarding is for more precise control, user can forward the data packet of a port to a host of LAN, to forward different port to different host.
3.3.3 Traffic Rules Traffic rules is used for opening some router ports, such as remote access the configuration page of router, you can open port 80; for remote SSH connection, you can open port 22. 1) Name You can name the rule yourself. 2) Protocol Choose the protocol of you want to forward can be TCP, UDP, or TCP/UDP.
Page 26
1) Restrict to Address Family You can choose IPv4, IPv6, or Pv4/IPv6. 2) Protocol To choose the protocol you want for access control, it can TCP, UDP or TCP/UDP. 3) Source MAC Address To choose the source MAC address of data packet. 4) Source Address To choose the source IP address of data packet.
Drop Drop data packet Reject Drop data packet, and return an unachievable data packet. Don’t Track No action. 3.3.4 Custom Settings Users can also customize some firewall rules themselves, as those rules is consist of iptable, we suggest users that are familiar with iptables command to do this. When you add rules, please add them at the bottom of existing rules, and don’t delete them.
