Chapter 6: Setting Up and Configuring the Router
Overview
For your convenience, use the Router’s Web-based Utility to set it up and configure it. This chapter will explain all
of the functions in this Utility.
There are eight main tabs in the Utility: Setup, Firewall, VPN, QoS, Administration, IPS, L2 Switch, and Status.
Additional tabs will be available after you click one of the main tabs. The tabs are described below:
Setup
•
IP Mode. Provides options for IPv4 NAT Router mode or Dual-Stack Router mode.
•
WAN. The Internet connection settings are entered and displayed on this screen.
•
LAN. The Local Area Network (LAN) settings are entered and displayed on this screen.
•
DMZ. The DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) Host feature allows one local user to be exposed to the Internet to use a
special-purpose service such as Internet gaming or video conferencing.
•
MAC Address Clone. Some ISPs require that you register a MAC address. This feature “clones” your network
adapter's MAC address onto the Router, and prevents you from having to call your ISP to change the
registered MAC address to the Router's MAC address.
•
Advanced Routing. The Router's dynamic routing feature can be used to automatically adjust to physical
changes in the network's layout.
•
Time. Change the time on this screen.
Firewall
•
Basic. Basic Firewall settings are configured from here.
•
Internet Access Policy. Network Access Rules evaluate the network traffic's Source IP address, Source MAC
address, and IP protocol type to decide if the traffic is allowed to pass through the firewall.
•
Single Port Forwarding. To set up public services or other specialized Internet applications with a single port
on your network, click this tab.
