You can group local hosts by physical ports and create up to 4 virtual LANs. To manage the

communication between different groups, please set up rules in Virtual LAN (VLAN) function

and the rate of each.

Below shows the LAN menu:

3.2.1 General Setup

This page provides you the general settings for LAN.

Click

LAN

to open the LAN settings page and choose

General Setup

.

IP Address

Type in private IP address for connecting to a local private

network (Default: 192.168.1.1).

Subnet Mask

Type in an address code that determines the size of the network.

(Default: 255.255.255.0/ 24)

Enable DHCP

DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. The

router by factory default acts a DHCP server for your network

so it automatically dispatch related IP settings to any local user

configured as a DHCP client. It is highly recommended that you

leave the router enabled as a DHCP server if you do not have a

DHCP server for your network.

You can configure the router to serve as a DHCP server for the

2nd subnet. Check the box to enable DHCP server setting.

Start IP Address

Enter a value of the IP address pool for the DHCP server to start

with when issuing IP addresses. If the 2nd IP address of your

router is 220.135.240.1, the starting IP address must be

220.135.240.2 or greater, but smaller than 220.135.240.254.

IP Pool Counts

Enter the number of IP addresses in the pool. The maximum is

10. For example, if you type 3 and the 2nd IP address of your

router is 220.135.240.1, the range of IP address by the DHCP

server will be from 220.135.240.2 to 220.135.240.11.

Lease Time

It allows you to set the leased time for the specified PC.

Force DNS manual setting

Force router to use DNS servers in this page instead of DNS

servers given by the Internet Access server (PPPoE, PPTP,

L2TP or DHCP server).

Primary IP Address

You must specify a DNS server IP address here because your

ISP should provide you with usually more than one DNS Server.

If your ISP does not provide it, the router will automatically

apply default DNS Server IP address: 194.109.6.66 to this field.

Vigor2130 Series User’s Guide

45

Secondary IP Address

You can specify secondary DNS server IP address here because

your ISP often provides you more than one DNS Server. If your

ISP does not provide it, the router will automatically apply

default secondary DNS Server IP address: 194.98.0.1 to this

field.

The default DNS Server IP address can be found via Online

Status:

If both the Primary IP and Secondary IP Address fields are left

empty, the router will assign its own IP address to local users as

a DNS proxy server and maintain a DNS cache.

If the IP address of a domain name is already in the DNS cache,

the router will resolve the domain name immediately.

Otherwise, the router forwards the DNS query packet to the

external DNS server by establishing a WAN (e.g. DSL/Cable)

connection.

After finishing all the settings here, please click

OK

to activate them.

3.2.2 Ports

Ports page is used to change the setting for LAN ports. You can set or reset the following

items. All of them are described in detail below.

Port

It displays current network interface.

Link

It displays current connection status. Green light means the

LAN connection is successful.

Current

It displays current speed that the router uses.

Speed Configured

It can set the speed and duplex of the port. You can use the drop

down list to choose the required speed for the router. If you

have no idea in configuring speed, simple use the default setting,

Auto

.

Flow Control

If flow control is enabled by checking

Configured

box, both

parties can send PAUSE frame to the transmitting device(s) if

the receiving port is too busy to handle. If not, there will be no

flow control in the port. It drops the packet if too much to

handle.

Current Rx: indicates whether pause frames on the port are

obeyed.

Current Tx: indicates whether pause frames on the port are

transmitted.

Maximum Frame

This module offers 1518~9600 (Bytes) length to make the long

packet for data transmission.

Excessive Collision Mode

There are two modes for you to choose when excessive

collision happened in half-duplex condition.

Discard

- It determines whether the MAC drops frames after an

excessive collision has occurred. If yes, a frame is dropped after

excessive collision. This is IEEE Standard 802.3 half-duplex

flow control operation.

Restart

- It determines whether the MAC retransmits frames

after an excessive collision has occurred. If set, a frame is not

dropped after excessive collisions, but the backoff sequence is

restarted. This is a violation of IEEE Standard 802.3, but is

useful in non-dropping half-duplex flow control operation.

Power Control

The Configured column allows for changing the power savings

mode parameters per port.

Disabled

: All power savings mechanisms disabled.

ActiPHY

: Link down power savings enabled.

PerfectReach

: Link up power savings enabled.

Enabled

: Both link up and link down power savings enabled.

Refresh

3.2.3 MAC Address Table

This page allows you to set timeouts for entries in dynamic MAC Table and configure the

static MAC table here.

Disable Automatic Aging

Stop the MAC table aging timer, the learned MAC address will

not age out automatically. The default setting is enabled. Check

the box to disable this function if required.

Age Time

Delete a MAC address idling for a period of time from the

following MAC Table, which will not affect static MAC

address. Range of MAC Address Aging Time is 10-1000000

seconds. The default Aging Time is 300 seconds.

MAC Table Learning

List the port members which apply dynamic learning

mechanism or not.

Auto

- Enable this port MAC address dynamic learning

mechanism.

Disable

- Disable this port MAC address dynamic learning

mechanism, only support static MAC address setting.

Secure

- Disable this port MAC address dynamic learning

mechanism and copy the dynamic learning packets to CPU.

Static MAC Table Config..

Specify static MAC address with VLAN ID to apply aging

configuration.

Delete -

Click the button to remove the VLAN setting.

VLAN ID -

Specify the interface for the port members.

MAC Address -

It is a six-byte long Ethernet hardware address

and usually expressed by hex and separated by hyphens. For

example, 00 – 40 - C7 - D6 – 00 – 02.

WAN/LAN1~4 -

Check the port to apply this VLAN setting.
