LAN Connections

LAN Connections allows you to configure the Ethernet connection. The Ethernet connection

CANNOT be removed only edited.

Go to the

Configuration

menu and click on

LAN

connections

. The

LAN Connections

page is

displayed.

This page displays a table that lists all existing LAN connections. This table contains the

following information:

Service Name:

Name of the LAN port

IP/Bridge Interface:

Internal name of the LAN port.

Description:

Description of the connection.

Creator:

Which management entity the service was created in;

CLI,

Firmware, WebAdmin or Vendor (Factory Defaults).

5.5.1

Edit a LAN connection

To update or edit your LAN IP address, click on the

Edit

hyperlink of the LAN connection

you want to update or edit. The

Default LAN Port

page is displayed.

Chapter 5: Configuring the CopperJet

This page contains the

Default LAN Port

table that allows you to configure the following:

IP Address:

Configure the Primary (default) IP address and subnet

mask for the IP interface.

Virtual IP interface:

Create or edit a Virtual IP interface.

For more advanced options of the IP interface, click on the

Advanced Configuration…

hyperlink.

Once you have configured your IP addresses, click on the

OK

button. A message is

displayed confirming that your address information is being updated. You may need to

enter the new IP address in your web browser address box.

5.5.1.1 Virtual Interface

A virtual Interface can be used to assign a multiple IP address to the CopperJet (Multi

homing). The IP address of the Virtual Interface MUST be in a different subnet than the

Default LAN IP address.

To add a Virtual IP interface click on the

Create new Virtual IP Interface…

hyperlink.

The

Create virtual interface

page is displayed.

Fill in IP address and Netmask. This should be in a different subnet as the Default Ethernet

IP interface address. Once you have configured your Virtual IP address and Netmask, click

on

Apply

. You will return to the LAN connections page. The virtual interfaces section

contains a table listing the names of the virtual interface(s). Each virtual interface is called

item# by default.

Each virtual interface name has an

Edit

and a

Delete

link associated with it.

To edit a service:

a

Click

Edit

.

b

Change the options for the existing virtual interface, then click

Apply

.

The page is reset and the new values are displayed.

To delete a service:

a

Click

Delete

.

b

Click on

Delete this connection

.

When finished configuring, go to the

Configuration

menu and click on

Save config

to save

the new settings into the CopperJet.

Note: Make sure, after you have changed the LAN IP addresses, that your network card is

in the same subnet as your new CopperJet LAN IP address.

WAN Connections

To create a DSL Connection, you need to add a WAN connection. Depending on the

network of your ISP, you need to configure either a BRIDGED or ROUTED WAN connection.

Bridged connections are often RFC1483 BRIDGED (attached to the Bridge). Routed

connections are often RFC1483 ROUTED, PPPoE, PPPoA or IPoA (attached to the Router).

The most commonly used WAN connections are described in section

6 WAN Configuration

Examples.

To create and configure WAN connections for your CopperJet, go to the

Configuration

menu and click on

WAN connections.

The

WAN connections

page is displayed.

This page contains a table that displays the current WAN connections or services that have

been created. To create a new WAN connection, click on

Create a new service

. The

New

WAN Service

page is displayed.

This page contains a list of all the WAN connections that are available. Select the type of

service you wish to create and click on

Configure

.

5.6.1

Configuring RFC1483 Bridged service attached to the Bridge

One of the most commonly used connections is RFC 1483 Bridged, attached to the Bridge.

This WAN connection performs a transparent bridge between the ADSL connection and the

LAN connection. The CopperJet does not route any packets. All packets received on one

interface (i.e. ADSL) are transparently bridged to the other interface (i.e. Ethernet).

Important: DHCP Server need to be disabled when using RFC1483 bridged,

attached to the bridge

.

If RFC 1483 Bridged is attached to the Router, the CopperJet routes the packets from and

to the different interfaces. Usually, you would configure NAT to allow multiple IP addresses

on the LAN interface of the CopperJet.
