Network Options
This page allows you to configure the advanced networking features of the V-Portal. The network options
adjust how your device routes IP traffic, which is traffic to and from the Internet. Unless you have advanced
networking knowledge, or have been instructed to do so by a member of Vonage's Customer Care team, we
recommend not changing these values from the default values.
The following options can be enabled/disabled from this page:
•
WAN Blocking – prevents your device (or any devices plugged into it) from being visible to the
Internet.
•
Ipsec PassThrough – enables IP Security protocol to be used through the device so that a VPN
device (or software) on your LAN may communicate properly with the Internet.
•
PPTP PassThrough - enables Point to Point Tunneling protocol to be used through the device so
that a VPN device (or software) on your LAN may communicate properly with the Internet.
•
Remote Configuration Management – allows the device to be accessed and configured from
anywhere on the Internet by using the WAN IP address via port 8080. For example, if the IP
address of the Internet port of your V-Portal is 11.22.33.44 then you could access the device
remotely by typing http://11.22.33.44:8080 in the address bar of your Internet browser. You can find
the Internet IP address of your device on the Status page or on the LCD menu.
•
Multicast Enable – allows transmission of data packets to multiple destinations at the same time.
This is similar to the way a hub functions.
•
UPnP Enable – enables the Universal Plug and Play agent in the device. This option should be
used if you are running an application on your LAN that requires UPnP.
•
PPPoE PassThrough – allows PCs connected to your LAN to use the PPPoE client software
provided by your ISP to connect to a PPPoE server on the Internet. By enabling PPPoE
PassThrough you allow multiple users, each with their own PPP User Name and password, to
share your DSL connection.
•
Enable SSH – enables Secure Shell. SSH allows for advanced troubleshooting. This option should
only be enabled under the supervision of Vonage Technical Support.
To enable the Network Options:
