NOTE:

1.

If the default IP address has been changed, the new IP address

must be entered into the XenSmart management interface.

The default gateway value of all devices connected to the

LAN must be set to the new IP address in order to have

Internet access.

2.

If your client device is set to use DHCP, the address must be

re-requested. This can be done by simply unplugging and

re-plugging the Ethernet cable.

5.3.2 WAN Settings

This interface displays the status of the WAN connections, as well as the port

parameters.

To change the WAN interface settings, select “Edit” next to the WAN interface you

would like to change. This opens up the interface shown below.

Each WAN interface supports three connection modes: Static IP, Dynamic IP and

PPPoE dial-up.

±

Static IP:

allowing each client access to the maximum available data rate; Automatic Failover,

for redundant links; and IP Groups, for controlling how much bandwidth is given to

each client.

±

Automatic Load Balancing:

The system searches for the WAN port with the

lowest usage and automatically distributes load accordingly. This load balancing

mode automatically manages flow distribution and bandwidth overlap.

NOTE:

The system default mode is Automatic Load Balancing.

±

Automatic Failover:

Users can choose a WAN port (WAN1 or WAN2), as the

primary connection, while making the other port a backup connection. The

XBR-2300 will automatically switch to the backup connection when the primary

connection has an interruption in service. This change over is subject to a short

delay of approximately 40 seconds on primary connection failure.

±

IP Group:

This mode allows for the control of bandwidth provided to groups

of client devices. When using this mode, specific IP address ranges are placed in

groups and assigned to a particular port (WAN1 or WAN2). The source address,

destination address, and destination port are all specified. All data packets

included in the defined range are then processed by the selected WAN interface.

All data packets that are not included in the defined range are forwarded to the

other WAN interface.

Example:

To designate that LAN Source IP addresses with a range of 192.168.0.100

to 192.168.0.200 pass through WAN2 and with a Destination IP Address range of

58.251.80.1 to 58.251.80.254, via ports: 0-65535, you need to fill in the corresponding

source IP Addresses, Destination IP Addresses, Destination Ports, and Designate a

WAN port. To activate this setting, check “Enabled” and click “Add to the corre-

sponding list.” See below for details:
