-

PPTP (Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol):

Choose this option if

required by your ISP. PPTP is a service used in Europe, Israel, and other

countries.

Specify WAN IP Address:

The external IP address that your ISP

assigned to your account.

Subnet Mask:

The subnet mask specified by your ISP.

Default Gateway Address:

The IP address of the default gateway.

Username

and

Password:

Enter the username and password for your

ISP account. The maximum number of characters is 60.

Connect on Demand:

This feature may be helpful if you are billed based

on the time that you are connected to the Internet. When this feature is

enabled, the connection will be disconnected after a specified period of

inactivity (Max Idle Time). As soon as you attempt to access the Internet

again, the router automatically re-establishes your connection. If you

enable this feature, also enter the

Max Idle Time

, which is number of

minutes that the connection can be inactive; when this limit is reached,

the connection is terminated. The default Max Idle Time is 5 minutes.

Keep Alive:

This feature ensures that your router is always connected to

the Internet. When this feature is enabled, the router keeps the

connection alive by sending out a few data packets periodically. This

option keeps your connection active indefinitely, even when it sits idle. If

you enable this feature, also enter the

Redial Period

to specify how

often the router verifies your Internet connection. The default period is

30 seconds.

-

Transparent Bridge:

Choose this option if you are using this router to

connect two network segments. Only one WAN interface can be set as

transparent bridge.

Specify WAN IP Address:

The external IP address that your ISP

assigned to your account.

Subnet Mask:

The subnet mask specified by your ISP.

Default Gateway Address:

The IP address of the default gateway.

DNS Server (Required) 1:

The IP address of the specified DNS server.

Optionally, enter a second DNS server. The first available DNS entry is

used.

Internal LAN IP Range:

The internal LAN IP range that will be bridged.

The WAN and LAN of transparent bridge will be at the same subnet.

•

MTU:

Set the

MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit)

in bytes (see the

Glossary). Unless a change is required by your ISP, Cisco recommends that

you use the default setting,

Auto

. To specify another value, select

Manual

,

and then enter the size in bytes.

•

Enabled DHCP-PD:

Check this box to enable the DHCPv6 client process

and enable a request for prefix delegation through the selected interface.

This option is typically used if your ISP is capable of sending LAN prefixes

via DHCPv6 option. If your ISP does not support this option, then you can

manually configure a LAN prefix by entering the LAN IPv6 address below.

Note:

When DHCP-PD is enabled, the manual LAN IPv6 addressing below

will be disabled and vice versa.

•

LAN IPv6 Address:

This option allows you to manually enter a global IPv6

prefix that was assigned by your ISP for your LAN devices, if applicable.

Check with your ISP for more information.

Changing the Administrator Username and Password

Use the

Setup > Password

page to update the administrator username and

password. You can keep the default username (admin) if you like. However, Cisco

strongly recommends changing the default password (admin) to a strong

password that is hard to guess.

!

CAUTION

The password cannot be recovered if it is lost or forgotten. If the password is lost

or forgotten, you have to reset the router to its factory default settings. Doing so will

remove all of your configuration changes.

NOTE

•

You must change the administrator password if you enable remote access

on the

Firewall > General

page.
