To assign ports to link aggregation group:

STEP 1

Choose Networking > LAN > Link Aggregation. The Port Status section displays

the mode associated with each port on the device and the status.

STEP

2

In the Link Aggregation Setting Table section, check the check box for each port to

include it in the group.

STEP

Click Save.

Cloning the MAC Address

Sometimes, you might need to set the MAC address of the device WAN port to be

the same MAC address as your PC or some other MAC address. This is called

MAC address cloning.

For example, some ISPs register your computer card MAC address when the

service is first installed. When you place a router behind the cable modem or DSL

modem, the MAC address from the device WAN port is not recognized by the ISP.

In this case, to configure your device to be recognized by the ISP, you can clone

the MAC address of the WAN port to be the same as your computer MAC address.

To configure a MAC address clone:

STEP 1

Choose

Networking

>

MAC Address Clone

.

STEP

2

In the

MAC Address Clone

field, check

Enable

.

STEP

3

To set the MAC address of the device WAN port, do one of the following:

•

To set the MAC address of the WAN port to your PC MAC address, click

Clone My PC’s MAC

.

•

To specify a different MAC address, enter it in the

MAC Address

field.

Configuring Dynamic Routing

Routing Information Protocol (RIP) is an Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) that is

commonly used in internal networks. It allows the router to exchange its routing

information automatically with other routers, and allows it to dynamically adjust its

routing tables and adapt to changes in the network.

Dynamic Routing (RIP) enables the device to automatically adjust to physical

changes in the network layout and exchange routing tables with the other routers.

The router determines the network packets’ route based on the fewest number of

hops between the source and the destination.

Gateway

To set the device to act as a gateway.

(Recommended)

Keep this default setting if the device is hosting

your network connection to the Internet and is

performing routing functions.

Router

(For advanced users only) To set the device to act

as a router.

Select this option if the device is on a network with

other routers.

Enabling the Router mode disables NAT (Network

Address Translation) on the device.

Configuring Inter VLAN Routing

To allow an end station in one VLAN to communicate with an end station in another

VLAN, check the Inter VLAN Routing Enable check box.

Configuring Static Routing

You can configure static routes to direct packets to the destination network. A

static route is a predetermined pathway that a packet must travel to reach a

specific host or network.

Some ISPs require static routes to build your routing table instead of using

dynamic routing protocols. Static routes do not require CPU resources to

exchange routing information with a peer router.

You can also use static routes to reach peer routers that do not support dynamic

routing protocols. Static routes can be used together with dynamic routes. The

device supports up to 30 static routes.

Be careful not to introduce routing loops in your network.

RIP

Check

Enable

to enable RIP. This allows the device

to use RIP to route traffic.

RIP Send Packet Version

Select the RIP Send Packet Version (

RIPv1

or

RIPv2

).

The version of RIP used to send routing updates to

other routers on the network depends on the

configuration settings of the other routers. RIPv2 is

backward compatible with RIPv1.

RIP Recv Packet Version

Choose the RIP Receive Packet Version.

Configuring Dynamic DNS

Configuring Dynamic DNS

Dynamic DNS (DDNS) is an Internet service that allows routers with varying public

IP addresses to be located using Internet domain names. To use DDNS, you must

set up an account with a DDNS provider such as DynDNS.com, TZO.com,

3322.org, or noip.com.

The router notifies dynamic DNS servers of changes in the WAN IP address, so

that any public services on your network can be accessed by using the domain

name.

To configure DDNS:

STEP 1

Choose

Networking

>

Dynamic DNS

.

STEP

2

The

DDNS Service Table

section lists the DDNS services that you can enable on

the device.

STEP

3

Check the check box for the service you want to enable and click

Edit

.

STEP

4

Check the Enable check box for the service.

STEP

5

Configure this information:

STEP

6

Click

, to test the DDNS configuration.

STEP

7

Click

Save

.

Username/E-mail

Address

The username of the DDNS account or the e-mail

address that you used to create the DDNS account.

Password

Password of the DDNS account.

Host / Domain Name

Hostname of the DDNS server or the name of the

domain that is used to access the network

Internet IP Address

(Read-only) Internet IP address of your device.

Status

(Read-only) Indicates that the DDNS update has

completed successfully or the account update

information sent to the DDNS server failed.
