Page 114: Interface Grouping
6.8 Interface Grouping Interface Grouping supports multiple ports to PVC and bridging groups. Each group performs as an independent network. To use this feature, you must create mapping groups with appropriate LAN and WAN interfaces using the Add button. The Remove button removes mapping groups, returning the ungrouped interfaces to the Default group.
Page 115 Automatically Add Clients With Following DHCP Vendor IDs: Add support to automatically map LAN interfaces to PVC's using DHCP vendor ID (option 60). The local DHCP server will decline and send the requests to a remote DHCP server by mapping the appropriate LAN interface. This will be turned on when Interface Grouping is enabled.
Page 116 For example, imagine there are 4 PVCs (0/33, 0/36, 0/37, 0/38). VPI/VCI=0/33 is for PPPoE while the other PVCs are for IP set-top box (video). The LAN interfaces are ETH1, ETH2, ETH3, and ETH4. The Interface Grouping configuration will be: 1.

Page 220 ENABLE FULLCONE NAT This option becomes available when NAT is enabled. Known as one-to-one NAT, all requests from the same internal IP address and port are mapped to the same external IP address and port. An external host can send a packet to the internal host by sending a packet to the mapped external address.

Page 226 LAUNCH DHCP6C FOR ADDRESS ASSIGNMENT (IANA) The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) is a department of ICANN responsible for coordinating some of the key elements that keep the Internet running smoothly. Whilst the Internet is renowned for being a worldwide network free from central coordination, there is a technical need for some key parts of the Internet to be globally coordinated, and this coordination role is undertaken by IANA.
Page 227 When Enabled, this creates local PPPoE connections to the WAN side. Enable this option only if all LAN-side devices are running PPPoE clients, otherwise disable it. The PBL-6201v2 supports pass-through PPPoE sessions from the LAN side while simultaneously running a PPPoE client from non-PPPoE LAN devices.
Page 228 STEP 4: Select DNS Server Interface from available WAN interfaces OR enter static DNS server IP addresses for the system. In ATM mode, if only a single PVC with IPoA or static IPoE protocol is configured, Static DNS server IP addresses must be entered. Select the configured WAN interface for IPv6 DNS server information OR enter the static IPv6 DNS server Addresses.
Page 229 STEP 5: The WAN Setup - Summary screen shows a preview of the WAN service you have configured. Check these settings and click Apply/Save if they are correct, or click Back to modify them. After clicking Apply/Save, the new service should appear on the main screen.

Page 231 STEP 2: The WAN IP settings screen provides access to the DHCP server settings. You can select the Obtain an IPv6 address automatically radio button to enable DHCP (use the DHCP Options only if necessary). However, if you prefer, you can use the Static IPv6 address method instead to assign WAN IP address, Subnet Mask and Default Gateway manually.

Interval (second): Time between sending out each PPP echo-request packet. Number of retries: Number of retries before PPP connection is dropped. ENABLE FULLCONE NAT Not available for IPv6.
Page 240 LAUNCH DHCP6C FOR PREFIX DELEGATION (IAPD) An Identity Association for Prefix Delegation (IAPD) is a collection of prefixes assigned to a requesting device. A requesting device may have more than one IAPD; for example, one for each of its interfaces. A prefix-delegating router (DHCPv6 server) selects prefixes to be assigned to a requesting router (DHCPv6 client) upon receiving a request from the client.
Page 241 STEP 3: Choose an interface to be the default Ipv6 gateway. Click Next to continue or click Back to return to the previous step.
Page 242 STEP 4: Select the configured WAN interface for IPv6 DNS server information OR enter the static IPv6 DNS server Addresses. Note that selecting a WAN interface for IPv6 DNS server will enable DHCPv6 Client on that interface. Click Next to continue or click Back to return to the previous step.
