4.2 Interface Setup Click this item to access the following sub-items to configure the ADSL2+ router: Internet and LAN. These functions are described in the following sections.
Page 42
ATM VC ATM settings are used to connect to your ISP. Your ISP provides VPI, VCI settings to you. In this Device, you can totally setup 8 VCs on different encapsulations, if you apply 8 different virtual circuits from your ISP. You need to activate the VC to take effect. For PVCs management, you can use ATM QoS to setup each PVC traffic line's priority.
Page 43
Encapsulation: ISP: Select the encapsulation type your ISP uses from the Encapsulation list. Choices vary depending on what you select in the Mode field. Dynamic IP: Select this option if your ISP provides you an IP address automatically. This option is typically used for Cable services. Please enter the Dynamic IP information accordingly.
Page 44
Get IP Address: Choose Static or Dynamic for the type of IP address you want to get. Static IP Address: Enter the IP address of ADSL Router in dotted decimal notation, for example, xx.xx.xx.xx. IP Subnet Mask: The default is 0.0.0.0. User can change it to other such as 255.255.255.0.Type the subnet mask assigned to you by your ISP (if given).
4.2.2 LAN A Local Area Network (LAN) is a shared communication system to which many computers are attached and is limited to the immediate area, usually the same building or floor of a building. Router Local IP IP Address: Enter the IP address of ADSL Router in dotted decimal notation, for example, 192.168.1.254 (factory default).
Page 46
Enable IGMP Snoop function. DHCP DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, RFC 2131 and RFC 2132) allows individual clients to obtain TCP/IP configuration at start-up from a server. DHCP: If set to Enable, your device can assign IP addresses, an IP default gateway and DNS servers to Windows 95, Windows NT and other systems that support the DHCP client.
4.3 Advanced Setup 4.3.1 Firewall Your router includes a firewall for controlling Internet access from your LAN and helping to prevent attacks from hackers. In addition to this, when using NAT (Network Address Translation) the router acts as a “natural” Internet firewall, since all PCs on your LAN use private IP addresses that cannot be directly accessed from the Internet.
4.3.2 Routing If you have another router with a LAN-to-LAN connection, you may create a static routing on the router that is the gateway to Internet. #: Item number. Dest IP: IP address of the destination network. Mask: The destination mask address. Gateway IP: IP address of the gateway or existing interface that this route uses.
Page 49
ADD Route Destination IP Address: This is the destination subnet IP address. IP Subnet Mask: A subnet mask allows IP networks to be subdivided for security and performance purposes. Gateway IP Address: This is the gateway IP address to which packets are to be forwarded.
4.3.3 NAT The NAT (Network Address Translation - NAT, RFC 1631) is the translation of the IP address of a host in a packet. The default setting is Dynamic NAPT. It provides dynamic Network Address Translation capability between LAN and multiple WAN connections, and the LAN traffic is routed to the appropriate WAN connections based on the destination IP addresses and Route Table.
Page 51
The DMZ Host is a local computer exposed to the Internet. When setting a particular internal IP address as the DMZ Host, all incoming packets which do not use a port number that is being used by any other Virtual Server entries will first be checked by the Firewall and NAT algorithms before they are passed to the DMZ host.
Page 52
connection attempts using specific ports to the PC on your network running the application. You will also need to use port forwarding if you want to host an online game server. The reason for this is that when using NAT, your publicly accessible IP address will be used by and point to your router, which then needs to deliver all traffic to the private IP addresses used by your PCs.
Page 53
Rule Index: Choose the rule number. Application: Choose the predefined rule from Application drop-down menu or enter a custom name. Protocol: Choose the Protocol Type, ALL, TCP or UDP. Start Port Number: Enter a port number as the beginning number of the range which you want to give to devices to access in this field.
Page 54
ALG Switch In the context of computer networking, an application-level gateway (also known as ALG or application layer gateway) consists of a security component that augments a firewall or NAT employed in a computer network. It allows customized NAT traversal filters to be plugged into the gateway to support address and port translation for certain application layer "control/data"...
Page 55
IP Address Mapping Rule Index: Choose the rule number. Rule Type: One-to-one: This is the mode that maps one local IP address to one global IP address. Note that port numbers do not change for the One-to-one NAT mapping type. Many-to-One: This is the mode that maps multiple local IP addresses to one global IP address.
