Advanced Settings: PPPoE Relay

The PPPoE Relay feature enables an L2TP Access Concentrator (LAC) to relay

active discovery and service selection functionality for PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE),

over a Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP) control channel, to an L2TP Network

Server (LNS) or tunnel switch (multihop node). The relay functionality of this

feature allows the LNS or tunnel switch to advertise its services to the client,

thereby providing end-to-end control of services between the LNS and a PPPoE

client.

To enable the PPPoE Relay feature for the Internet side, select Enabled. To disable

the PPPoE Relay feature, keep the default, Disabled.

•

NAT:

If the WRP400 is hosting your network’s connection to the Internet,

keep the default, Enabled. If another router exists on your network, select

Disabled. When the NAT setting is disabled, dynamic routing will be

enabled.

•

Dynamic Routing (RIP):

This feature enables the WRP400 to automatically

adjust to physical changes in the network’s layout and exchange routing

tables with the other router(s). The WRP400 determines the route of the

network packets based on the fewest number of hops between the source

and the destination. When the NAT setting is enabled, the Dynamic Routing

feature is automatically disabled. When the NAT setting is disabled, this

feature is available. Select Enabled to use the Dynamic Routing feature.

•

Static Routing:

A static route is a pre-determined pathway that network

information must travel to reach a specific host or network. Enter the

information described below to set up a new static route.

-

Route Entries:

To set up a static route between the WRP400 and

another network, select a number from the drop-down list. Click Delete

This Entry to delete a static route.

-

Enter Route Name:

Enter a name for the Route here, using a maximum of

25 alphanumeric characters.

-

Subnet Mask:

The Subnet Mask determines which portion of a

Destination LAN IP address is the network portion, and which portion is

the host portion.

-

Gateway:

This is the IP address of the gateway device that allows for

contact between the WRP400 and the remote network or host.

-

Interface:

This interface tells you whether the Destination LAN IP

address is on the LAN and Wireless (Ethernet and wireless networks) or

the Internet (WAN).

Installing Your USB Modem

You can install a compatible Mobile Broadband USB Modem into the USB port of

the WRP400 for the purpose of accessing a mobile network.

NOTE

For more information about compatible USB devices, visit the WRP400 product page on

Cisco.com:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps10028/index.html

Connect a compatible USB Modem into the USB port of the WRP400. The Power

LED flashes green and orange, indicating that a device is connected to the USB

port and that initialization is in progress.

After the device initializes, the Power LED shines steady green. If the device fails

to initialize, the LED continues to flash green and orange.

By default, the WRP400 connects to the Internet through the local Ethernet, if available. The

mobile network connection is used as a failover when an Ethernet connection is unavailable.

NOTE
