This feature provides additional navigation via a table at the bottom of the windows. The data in the table

acts as a shortcut to the window that allows you to configure that element.

To add a new virtual WAN

connection:

At the bottom left corner of the

window,

click

Add a New VC

.

•

Depending on your user profile,

either the

ATM Settings

or

Current Configurations

window

will display.

Note

The

ATM Settings

window

allows your service provider to

configure certain “back end” settings,

and will not typically be visible to

users. If you do not know how to

make or change these settings, please

continue to page

41,

Select WAN

Protocol

.

Step-by-Step Procedures

Adding a new virtual WAN connection involves several steps and variables. For a simplified version of

the steps, please refer to page 115.

On the

ATM Settings

window, enter or select the desired options:

•

To continue to the

window, click

Select WAN Protocol

1.

On the

Protocol Selection

window, you will select from these options:

•

RFC-2684 Bridged:

A pure bridged connection wherein

the router accepts RFC-2684

encapsulated traffic from the WAN

and drops the encapsulation to bridge

Ethernet traffic through to the LAN.

No router functions are performed on

this traffic.

•

RFC-2684 Bridged/IP:

A bridged connection wherein the

router accepts RFC-2684

encapsulated traffic from the WAN.

Unlike RFC-2684 Bridged protocol, however, the WAN interface has an IP address and handles

the traffic, routing only relevant data on to the appropriate LAN interface(s). The IP address used

for this protocol can be manually entered or, if the ISP provides a DHCP server, can be obtained

using DHCP.

•

RFC-2684 Routed:

An IP-driven protocol with different encapsulation than RFC-2684 Bridged, but does route

traffic. Since this protocol does not support DHCP, the IP address must be manually entered.

•

PPPoE:

A PPP connection over Ethernet encapsulated using RFC-2684 Bridging protocol. The router can

support up to four PPPoE session per virtual connection. You can configure the PPPoE protocol

in one of four modes:

-

Client Mode:

Terminates the PPP traffic and pass on pure Ethernet to the LAN.

32

Page 43 / 129

SpeedStream Router User Guide

-

Bridged Mode:

Passes PPPoE traffic through to the LAN; user runs Ethernet or another PPPoE client on the

computer to maintain the PPP connection.

-

2684 Bridge Mode:

Concurrently runs PPPoE with a 2684 Bridge on the same virtual connection.

-

2684 Bridge/IP Mode:

Concurrently runs PPPoE with 2684 Bridge/IP on the same virtual connection.

•

PPPoA:

PPPoA is a PPP connection over ATM cells with encapsulation using either LLC or VCMUX;

routes traffic.

Configure RFC-2684 Bridged Protocol

RFC-2684 Bridged

is a pure bridged

connection wherein the router accepts RFC-

2684 encapsulated traffic from the WAN and

drops the encapsulation to bridge Ethernet

traffic through to the LAN. No router

functions are performed on this traffic.

On the

2684 Bridged

window, select to

use DHCP or specify the IP information:

Use DHCP:

If your service provider offers DHCP

server, automatically obtains the IP

address.

Specify IP Information:

Enter IP address, subnet mask, default

gateway (optional) and DNS server

(optional).

Select Interface Options

1.

On the

Interface Options

window, select the desired options:

•

Use Firewall:

Enable firewall protection.

•

Use Attack Detection System:

Enable WAN attack protection.

•

Use Universal Plug-n-Play:

Enable devices to discover and control each other via UPnP over the network.

•

RIP:

Routing Information Protocol (For more information, see page 83.

-

Version 1:

Allows RIP version 1 to be

transmitted/received on the

selected interface. Currently,

RIPv1 is seldom used, but

supported on the SpeedStream

router.

-

Version 2

:

Allows RIP version 2 to be

transmitted/received on the

selected interface. This would be

the most common choice.

-

Versions 1 & 2:

Simultaneously supports RIP

versions 1 and 2 on the selected

interface.

-

Active Mode:

In enabled, the router will receive

routing updates on the selected

interface and will broadcast

regular routing updates to other routers. If not enabled (default), the router will receive

routing updates on this interface, but will not broadcast routing tables.

NAT/NAPT:

Enable Network Address Translation (NAT) and/or Network Address Port Translation (NAPT).

For more information on using NAT and NAPT, see page 65.

•

-

Disabled:

Disable both NAT and NAPT (for example, if setting up static routes).

-

NAT:

Enable NAT only and specify the destination IP address for incoming packets on the selected

WAN interface.

-

NAPT:

Enable NAPT only to handle multiple addresses based on port forwarding rules.
