    If your ISP gives you DNS server addresses, manually enter them in the DNS server fields. 2 If your ISP dynamically assigns the DNS server IP addresses (along with the P-336M’s WAN IP address), set the DNS server fields to get the DNS server address from the ISP.

  • Page 26: Wan Configuration

    ZyXEL P-336M User’s Guide 3 You can manually enter the IP addresses of other DNS servers. These servers can be public or private. A DNS server could even be behind a remote IPSec router. 3.2.3 WAN Configuration Select Dynamic IP in the WAN screen if your ISP does not give you a fixed public IP address and Internet access account information (such as the user name and password).

  • Page 27: Wan Configuration: Static Ip

    Use the Default Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) is a parameter that determines the largest packet size (in bytes) that the P-336M will send to the WAN. If LAN devices send larger packets, the P-336M will break them into smaller packets. Ideally, you should set this to match the MTU of the connection to your ISP.

  • Page 28: Wan Configuration: Pppoe

    3.2.5 WAN Configuration: PPPoE The P-336M supports PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet). PPPoE is an IETF Draft standard (RFC 2516) specifying how a computer interacts with a broadband modem (DSL, cable, wireless, etc.) connection. The PPPoE option is for a dial-up connection using PPPoE.

  • Page 29: Figure 8 Basic: Wan: Pppoe

    By implementing PPPoE directly on the P-336M (rather than individual computers), the computers on the LAN do not need PPPoE software installed, since the P-336M does that part of the task. Furthermore, with NAT, all of the LAN computers will have access.

    TCP/IP configuration at start-up from a server. You can configure the P-336M as a DHCP server or disable it. When configured as a server, the P-336M provides the TCP/IP configuration for the DHCP client. If DHCP service is disabled, you must have another DHCP server on your LAN, or else the computer must be manually configured.

  • Page 31: Ip Pool Setup

    The P-336M is pre-configured to provide IP addresses (ranging from 192.168.1.100 to 192.168.1.199) to DHCP clients. This configuration leaves some IP addresses (excluding the P-336M itself) in the lower and upper ranges for other server computers, for instance, servers for mail, FTP, TFTP, web, etc., that you may have.

    ZyXEL P-336M User’s Guide • Open mode is implemented for ease-of-use and when security is not an issue. The wireless station and the AP do not share a secret key. Thus the wireless stations can associate with any AP and listen to any data transmitted plaintext.

  • Page 37: Wlan Security Setup

    ZyXEL P-336M User’s Guide TKIP regularly changes and rotates the encryption keys so that the same encryption key is never used twice. The RADIUS server distributes a Pairwise Master Key (PMK) key to the AP that then sets up a key hierarchy and management system, using the pair-wise key to dynamically generate unique data encryption keys to encrypt every data packet that is wirelessly communicated between the AP and the wireless clients.

The port number identifies a service; for example, web service is on port 80 and FTP on port 21. In some cases, such as for unknown services or where one server can support more than one service (for example both FTP and web service), it might be better to specify a range of port numbers.

  • Page 52: Routing

    Each remote node specifies only the network to which the gateway is directly connected, and the P-336M has no knowledge of the networks beyond. For instance, the P-336M knows about network N2 in the following figure through remote node Router 1. However, the P-336M is unable to route a packet to network N3 because it doesn't know that there is a route through the same remote node Router 1 (via gateway Router 2).
