Layer 2 Interface

Layer 2 refers to the data link layer of the Open Systems Interconnection model (OSI model) which provides the functional and

procedural means to transfer data between network entities and to detect and possibly correct errors that may occur in the physical

layer.

ATM Interface

The ATM interface page shows the settings of all available DSL ATM interfaces.

WAN Service

Select WAN Service from the Advanced menu to display the status of all configured PVC(s).

A new PVC can be added or an existing entry can be edited from this page.

Figure 40: Advanced - WAN Service

FIELD

DESCRIPTION

Interface

This field shows the interface name that the PVC uses.

Description

A descriptive name assigned to the PVC.

Type

This field shows what type of connection the PVC is.

VLAN802.1p

The VLAN tag of the PVC (if applicable).

VLANMuxID

The MUX Server ID of the selected PVC.

IGMP

This field indicates whether IGMP multicast traffic is enabled or disabled for the selected PVC.

NAT

This field indicates whether Network Address Translation (NAT) is enabled or disabled.

Firewall

This field indicates whether the inbuilt firewall is enabled or disabled for the selected PVC.

IPv6

The status of Internet Protocol (IP) version 6 configuration on the WAN Service.

Mld

Multicast Listener Discovery (MLD) is a component of the Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) suite. MLD

is used by IPv6 routers for discovering multicast listeners on attached links, much like IGMP is used in

IPv4. The protocol is embedded in ICMPv6 instead of using a separate protocol.

PPP Manual Connection

This field advises whether the Point to Point Protocol is Manually configured.

FIELD

DESCRIPTION

PPP Username

Enter your broadband username as supplied by your Internet Service Provider (ISP) into this field.

PPP Password

Enter your broadband password as supplied by your Internet Service Provider (ISP) into this field.

Authentication Method

The type of authentication the connection uses. If you are unsure which option to use select the AUTO

option.

Interval(seconds)

Enter the interval in seconds that connection will be tested for the keep alive function.

Number of Retries

Enter the number of retries the router keep alive function will make if the connection fails.

Enable Fullcone NAT

Enable 1 to 1 mapping of an IP address and port to an internal host.

Dial on Demand (with idle

timeout timer)

With this field selected the router will Initiate an internet connection when data traffic bound for the

internet passes through the router.

PPP IP Extension

Enable PPP IP Extension for this connection (if supported by your ISP).

Enable NAT

Enable Network Address Translation (NAT) for this connection. This field is required for the DHCP

server to be configured.

Enable Firewall

Enable the inbuilt firewall for this connection.

Use Static IPv4 Address

Use a Static IP Address (as supplied by your ISP) for this connection.

MTU

Set the MTU (Maximum Transmit Unit) size.

Enable PPP Manual Mode

Use this field to configure and initiate a PPP connection manually.

Enable PPP Debug Mode

Enable extended PPP logging for this connection.

Enable IGMP Multicast Proxy

Enable IPV6 IGMP Multicast support for the WAN service.

LAN

See the field descriptions below for more details.

FIELD

DESCRIPTION

Group Name

Select the Group Name if configured.

IP Address

The IP address of the LAN interface.

Subnet Mask

Enter the subnet mask for the LAN interface.

Enable IGMP Snooping

Enable by ticking the box.

Standard Mode: In standard mode multicast traffic will broadcast to all bridge ports when no client

subscribes to a multicast group.

Blocking Mode: In blocking mode, the multicast data traffic will be blocked. When there are no client

subscriptions to a multicast group, it will not broadcast to the bridge ports.

Disable DHCP Server

This option disables the DHCP server and should only be selected when using a Static IP address.

Enable DHCP Server

On selecting this field enter the start IP address and the end IP address as well as the lease time. With

the DHCP server enabled the router automatically assigns the IP address, subnet mask, default

gateway and DNS server addresses to all DHCP clients connecting to the router.

Configure the Second IP

Address and Subnet Mask for

LAN interface

Use this option to configure a second IP address for a second LAN interface. Enter the IP address and

subnet mask of the secondary LAN connection.

IPv6 LAN Auto Configuration

This page can be used to configure the router for IPv6 use.

OPTION

DEFINITION

LAN IPv6 Link-Local Address

Configuration

EUI-64

–

A 64-bit Global Identifier (EUI-

64™) standard for use with the IPv6 Protocol.

User Setting

–

User defined IPv6 Address

Static LAN IPv6 Address

Configuration

Enter a static IPv6 address for the router if one has been assigned to you by your Internet Service Provider.

IPv6 LAN Application

Enable IPv6 DHCP server

Stateless address

autoconfiguration

IPv6 hosts can configure themselves automatically when connected to a routed IPv6 network using Internet

Control Message Protocol version 6 (ICMPv6) router discovery messages. This type of configuration is suitable

for small organizations and individuals. It allows each host to determine its address from the contents of

received user advertisements. It makes use of the IEEE EUI-64 standard to define the network ID portion of the

address.

Stateful Address Configuration

This configuration requires some human intervention as it makes use of the Dynamic Host Configuration

Protocol for IPv6 (DHCPv6) for installation and administration of nodes over a network. The DHCPv6 server

maintains a list of nodes and the information about their state to know the availability of each IP address from

the range specified by the network administrator.

Enable RADVD

The Router Advertisement Daemon (radvd) is an open-source software product that implements link-local

advertisements of IPv6 router addresses and IPv6 routing prefixes using the Neighbor Discovery Protocol (NDP)

as specified in RFC 2461. The Router Advertisement Daemon is used by system administrators in stateless

auto-configuration methods of network hosts on Internet Protocol version 6 networks.

When IPv6 hosts configure their network interfaces, they broadcast router solicitation (RS) requests onto the

network to discover available routers. The radvd software answers requests with router advertisement (RA)

messages. In addition, radvd periodically broadcasts RA packets to the attached link to update network hosts.

The router advertisement messages contain the routing prefix used on the link, the link maximum transmission

unit (MTU), and the address of the responsible default router.
