Here are the items within the Advanced section:
Static Route
,

,
Static DNS
,
Dynamic
DNS
,
VLAN
,
Device Management
,
IGMP
,
MLD

Static Route
With static route feature, you are equipped with the capability to control the routing of the all the
traffic across your network. With each routing rule created, you can specifically assign the destination
where the traffic will be routed to.
Destination:
Enter the destination IP where the traffic is to be forwarded.
Netmask:
Enter the netmask of the destination.
Gateway:
Enter the gateway address for the traffic.
Interface:
Select an appropriate interface for the new routing rule from the drop down menu.
Click Add to confirm the settings.
Edit:
Check the Edit radio button to display the parameter of the selected application, then after
changing the parameters click the "Edit/Delete" button to apply the changes.

Static ARP
This feature allows you to map the layer-2 MAC (Media Access Control) address that corresponds
to the layer-3 IP address of the device.
IP Address:
Enter the IP of the device that the corresponding MAC address will be mapped to.
MAC Address:
Enter the MAC address that corresponds to the IP address of the device.
Click Add to confirm the settings.
Edit:
Check the Edit radio button to display the parameter of the selected application, then after
changing the parameters click the "Edit/Delete" button to apply the changes.

Static DNS
The Domain Name System (DNS) is a hierarchical naming system built on a distributed database
for computers, services, or any resource connected to the Internet or a private network associates
various information with domain names assigned to each of the participating entities. Most importantly,
it translates domain names meaningful to humans into the numerical identifiers associated with
networking equipment for the purpose of locating and addressing these devices worldwide.
An often-used analogy to explain the Domain Name System is that it serves as the phone book for
the Internet by translating human-friendly computer hostnames into IP addresses. For example,
the domain name www.example.com translates to the addresses 192.0.32.10 (IPv4).
Static DNS is a concept relative to Dynamic DNS, in static DNS system, the IP mapped is static
without change.
You can map the specific IP to a user-friendly domain name. In LAN, you can map a PC to a domain
name for convenient access. Or you can set some well known Internet IP mapping item so your
router will response quickly for your DNS query instead of querying for the ISP’s DNS server.
Host Name:
type the domain name for the specific IP.
IP Address:
type the IP address.
Click Add to add the static DNS item.

Dynamic DNS
The Dynamic DNS function lets you alias a dynamic IP address to a static hostname, so if your
ISP does not assign you a static IP address you can still use a domain name. This is especially
useful when hosting servers via your ADSL connection, so that anyone wishing to connect to you
may use your domain name, rather than the dynamic IP address which is assigned to you by ISP.
You need to first register and establish an account with the Dynamic DNS provider using their
website, for example
.
Dynamic DNS:
Default is disabled. Check Enable to enable the Dynamic DNS function and the
following fields will be activated and required.
Dynamic DNS Server:
Select the DDNS service you have registered an account with.
Wildcard:
When enabled, you allow the system to lookup on domain names that do not exist to
have MX records synthesized for them.
Domain Name
,
Username
and
Password:
Enter your registered domain name and your
username and password for this service.
Period:
Enter the length of the period in the blank, you can set the period unit in day, hour or
minute.
Click Apply to confirm the settings.

VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) is a group of devices on different physical LAN segments that
can communicate with each other as if they were all on the same physical LAN segment.
Type:
Select the VLAN type from the drop-down menu. There are three options: Port Based, Tag
Based and Disable.
Then enter the parameters in the fields
