Configuring Your SmartRG
™
- Common Use Cases
To simplify your deployment of SmartRG gateways this document is structured around specific use
cases designed to illustrate meaningful, service supporting configurations like:
Creating WAN interfaces for Internet data access and remote gateway management
Provisioning the SmartRG for remote management via TR-069
Setting up the LAN
Managing wireless
Creating IPTV service configurations (bridged and routed)
Classifying LAN traffic and applying QoS to support IPTV and VoIP applications
Enabling secure communications (IPSec)
Given the breadth of a SmartRG residential gateway
’s features and the
diversity of applications,
only the most common use cases are detailed here. Please contact SmartRG Support to inquire
about additional use cases.
Use Case: Creating WAN Connections for Internet Access and Remote
Management
SmartRG residential gateways are commonly deployed to provide Internet access for LAN hosts
such as workstations, gaming consoles, IP cameras and myriad other IP enabled devices
increasingly found in the home or office. Packets routed between LAN hosts and the Internet pass
through the gate
way’s routed
WAN connection. Remote management (via TR-069) is also
performed through this connection. The typical Internet access/remote management connection
configuration is diagramed below.

Figure 9 Internet / TR-069 Management WAN Connection
WAN connection creation is a two-step process beginning with the configuration of a layer 2
interface (Ethernet or DSL) followed by the creation of a layer 3, WAN service. Common WAN
services include PPPoE, DHCP and Static IP.
Configuring the Layer 2 Interface (Ethernet)
To configure an Ethernet layer 2 interface:
1.
Select
Advanced Setup -> Layer2 Interface.
The default Ethernet WAN interface
(eth0.5/LAN4) will be displayed.
Figure 10 Ethernet Layer 2 Interface Configuration (Default)
No further configuration is necessary.

Configuring the Layer 2 Interface (Ethernet with VLAN Tags)
In some applications it may be necessary to segment the Ethernet WAN interface into separate
VLANs. A common application for a VLAN segmented WAN interface is bridged IPTV as detailed in
the
“
Bridged IPTV Configuration
”
section. To configure the layer 2 Ethernet interface to support
VLAN tagged traffic:
1.
Select
Advanced Setup -> Layer2 Interface.
The default Ethernet WAN interface
(eth0.5/LAN4) will be displayed.
2.
Check the “Remove” box and click
Remove.
3.
Click Add.
4.
Select “VLAN MUX Mode.”

5.
Click Apply/Save.
NOTE
802.1P (priority) and 802.1Q (VLAN tag) values will be set at the time of WAN Service
creation as detailed in, “
Creating the WAN Service
.”

Configuring the Layer 2 Interface (ADSL)
To configure an ADSL layer 2 interface:
1.
Select
Advanced Setup -> Layer2 Interface
and click Add.
Figure 12 ADSL Layer 2 Interface Configuration
2.
Enter the PVC’s identifier (VPI/VCI)
.
3.
Select the
“
DSL Link Type
”
–
Ethernet over ATM (RFC 2684) is typical.
4.
Select the
“
Encapsulation Mode
”
–
LLC/SNAP-BRIDGING is typical.
5.
Select the
“
Service Category
”
(upstream ATM shaping)
–
“
UBR Without PCR
”
(Unspecified
Bit Rate Without Peak Cell Rate) is typical.
6.
Select the
“
Connection Mode
”
–
Choose Default Mode for non-VLAN tagged traffic. Choose
VLAN MUX Mode if you intend to segment LAN traffic into separate VLAN tagged WAN
services.

IMPORTANT
- Check
“
Enable Quality of Service
”
if you intend to support QoS classified
traffic through the WAN service.
8.
Click Apply/Save.
NOTE
Enabling QoS for routed IPTV service configurations will improve channel change
performance.
Configuring the Layer 2 Interface (VDSL/PTM)
To configure a VDSL / PTM layer 2 interface:
1.
Select
Advanced Setup -> Layer2 Interface -> PTM Interface
and click Add.
Figure 13 VDSL Layer 2 Interface Configuration
2.
Select the “DSL
Latency
” –
Path0 is typical.
3.
Select the “
PTM Priority
” –
Normal Priority is typical.
4.
Select the “
Connection Mode
” –
Default Mode is typical (when VLAN segmentation is not
required).
5.
IMPORTANT
-
Check “Enable Quality of Service” if you intend to support QoS classified
traffic through the WAN service.
