Routing.

Select 'Advanced' or 'Basic' routing.

Routing Mode.

Select one of the following routing modes:

•

Route: Use route mode if you want your gateway to function as a router between two networks.

•

NAPT: Network Address and Port Translation (NAPT) refers to network address translation

involving the mapping of port numbers, allowing multiple machines to share a single IP address.

Use NAPT if your LAN encompasses multiple devices, a topology that necessitates port transla-

tion in addition to address translation.

Device Metric.

The device metric is a value used by the gateway to determine

whether one route is superior to another, considering parameters such as band-

width, delay, and more.

Default Route.

Select this check box to define this device as a the default route.

Routing Information Protocol (RIP).

Select this check box to enable the Routing

Information Protocol (RIP). RIP determines a route based on the smallest hop

count between source and destination. When RIP is enabled, select the follow-

ing:

•

Listen to RIP messages - select 'None', 'RIPv1', 'RIPv2' or 'RIPv1/2'.

•

Send RIP messages - select 'None', 'RIPv1', 'RIPv2-broadcast' or 'RIPv2-multicast'.

Multicast - IGMP Proxy Internal.

IGMP proxy enables the system to issue

IGMP host messages on behalf of hosts that the system discovered through

standard IGMP interfaces. IGMP proxy enables the routing of multicast packets

according to the IGMP requests of LAN devices asking to join multicast groups.

Select the 'Multicast IGMP Proxy Internal' check-box to enable this feature.

Routing Table.

Allows you to add or modify routes when this device is active.

Use the 'New Route' button to add a route or edit existing routes.

LAN BRIDGE >> BRIDGING

This section allows you to specify the devices that you would like to join under

the network bridge.

LAN Bridge >> Bridging Panel

Select the 'STP' check box to enable the Spanning Tree Protocol on the device.

You should use this to ensure that there are no loops in your network configura-

tion, and apply these settings in case your network consists of multiple switches,

or other bridges apart from those created by the gateway.

LAN BRIDGE >> ADVANCED

Internet Connection Firewall.

Your gateway's firewall helps protect your com-

puter by preventing unauthorized users from gaining access to it through a net-

work such as the Internet. The firewall can be activated per network connection.

To enable the firewall on this network connection, select the 'Enabled' check

box.

Additional IP Addresses.

You can add alias names (additional IP addresses) to

the gateway by clicking the 'New IP Address' link. This enables you to access

the gateway using these aliases in addition to the 192.168.1.1

LAN HARDWARE

ETHERNET SWITCH

A LAN Ethernet connection connects computers to the Router using Ethernet

cables, either directly or via network hubs and switches.

GENERAL

To view and edit the LAN Ethernet connection settings, click the 'LAN Ethernet'

link in the 'Network Connections' screen. The 'LAN Ethernet Properties' screen

will appear, displaying a detailed summary of the connection's parameters,

under the 'General' tab. These parameters can be edited in the rest of the

screen's tabs, as described in the following sections.

SETTINGS

General.

This section displays the connection's general parameters. It is recom-

mended not to change the default values unless familiar with the networking

concepts they represent. Since your gateway is configured to operate with the

default values, no parameter modification is necessary.

Schedule.

By default, the connection will always be active. However, you can

configure scheduler rules in order to define time segments during which the

connection may be active. Once a scheduler rule(s) is defined, this field

changes to a combo-box, allowing you to choose between the available rules.

Network.

Select whether the parameters you are configuring relate to a WAN,

LAN or DMZ connection, by selecting the connection type from the combo-box.

Physical Address.

The physical address of the network card used for your net-

work. Some cards allow you to change this address.

MTU.

MTU is the Maximum Transmission Unit. It specifies the largest packet

size permitted for the transmission. In the default setting, Automatic, the gate-

way selects the best MTU for your Internet connection. Select "Automatic by

DHCP" to have the DHCP determine the MTU. In case you select "Manual", it is

recommended to enter a value in the 1200 to 1500 range.
