  • Page 122: Appendix F - Connection Setup

    Appendix F - Connection Setup Creating a WAN connection is a two-stage process. 1 - Setup a Layer 2 Interface (ATM, PTM or Ethernet). 2 - Add a WAN connection to the Layer 2 Interface. The following sections describe each stage in turn. F1 ~ Layer 2 Interfaces Every layer2 interface operates in one of three modes: Default, VLAN Mux or MSC.
  • Page 123 F1.1 Ethernet WAN Interface Some models of the VG-8050 support a single Ethernet WAN interface over the ETH WAN port. Follow these procedures to configure an Ethernet WAN interface. NOTE: To add WAN connections to one interface type, you must delete existing connections from the other interface type using the remove button.
  • Page 124 To add a WAN connection go to G2 ~ WAN Connections.
  • Page 125 F2 ~ WAN Connections In Default Mode, the VG-8050 supports one WAN connection for each interface, up to a maximum of 8 connections. VLAN Mux and MSC support up to 16 connections. To setup a WAN connection follow these instructions.
  • Page 126 NOTE: The WAN services shown here are those supported by the layer 2 interface you selected in the previous step. If you wish to change your selection click the Back button and select a different layer 2 interface. STEP 4: For VLAN Mux Connections only, you must enter Priority & VLAN ID tags. STEP 5: You will now follow the instructions specific to the WAN service type you wish to establish.
