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.
•
Before navigating away from this page, click
Save
to save your settings, or
click
Cancel
to undo them. After you change the username or password,
you will be required to log in with the new credentials when you select any
option in the navigation tree.
To open this page:
Click
Setup > Password
in the navigation tree.
•
Old Password:
Enter the old password. The default password is
admin
.
•
New Username:
Enter a new username, if desired. To keep the existing
username, leave this field blank.
