IP over Ethernet

VCI/VPI

: Enter the VCI/VPI combination from you ISP.

Encapsulation Mode

: Select the encapsulation mode, LLC/SNAP-BRIDGING, or VC/MUX.

Description

: User-defined description for the connection, commonly for friendly use.

Authentication Method

: Default is Auto. Or else your ISP will advise you the appropriate mode.

802.1P Priority

: The parameter indicates the frame priority level from 0 owest) to 7 (highest), which

can be used to prioritize different classes of traffic (voice, video, data, etc). Enter the priority

identification, tagged: 0-1, untagged: -1.

802.1Q VLAN ID

: It is a parameter to specify the VLAN which the frame belongs. Enter the VLAN ID

identification, tagged: 0-4094, untagged : -1.

Here two modes are supported for users to deal with the IP and DNS. You can select obtain

automatically or manually input the information according to your ISP.

Obtain an IP address automatically

: Check whether to enable this function.

Option 60 Vendor ID

: Enter the associated information by your ISP. This option is used by DHCP

clients to optionally identify the vendor type and configuration of a DHCP client. The information is a

string of n octets, interpreted by servers. Vendors may choose to define specific vendor class

identifiers to convey particular configuration or other identification information about a client.

Option 61 Client ID

: Enter the associated information provided by your ISP.

Option 125

: Option 125 is a complementary standard of DHCP protocol, it is used to encapsulate

option 125 message into DHCP offer packet before forward it to clients. After the clients receive the

packet, it check the option 125 field in the packet with the prestored message, if it is matched, then the

client accepts this offer, otherwise it will be abandoned. Check Enable or Disable this function. Default

setting is Disable.

: If user registers and gets a DNS account in the parental control

provider website, expecting to enjoy a more reliable and safer internet surfing

environment, please select this option (need to configure at Parental Control

Provider).

NAT

: The NAT (Network Address Translation) feature allows multiple users to access the Internet

through a single IP account by sharing the single IP address. If users on your LAN have their own

public IP addresses to access the Internet, NAT function can be disabled. When enabled, a Fullcone

NAT parameter will appear, you can determine whether to enable Fullcone NAT. While only NAT

enabled, the default NAT type Port-Restricted cone NAT will be used.

Fullcone NAT

: Enable or disable fullcone NAT. Fullcone is a kind of NAT, in this mode, all requests

from the same internal IP address and port are mapped to the same external IP address and port.

Furthermore, any external host can send a packet to the internal host, by sending a packet to the

mapped external address.

Firewall:

Enable to drop all traffic from WAN side. If enabled, all incoming packets by default would be

dropped, and please turn to IP Filtering Incoming to add allowing rules.

IGMP Multicast

: IGMP (Internet Group Membership Protocol) is a protocol used by IP hosts to report

their multicast group memberships to any immediately neighboring multicast routers. Check this item

to enable IGMP multicast on that WAN interface for multicast forwarding.

MTU

: Maximum Transmission Unit, the size of the largest datagram (excluding media-specific

headers) that IP will attempt to send through the interface.

MAC Spoofing

: This option is required by some service providers specifying some specific MAC

allowed for connecting in network. You must fill in the MAC address specified by your service provider

when this information is required.

Port-Restricted cone NAT, the restriction includes port numbers. Specifically, an external host can

65

send a packet, with source IP address X and source port P, to the internal host only if the internal host

had previously sent a packet to IP address X and port P

Protocol) Proxy intercepts the IGMP request from Clients and set up the multicast-forwarding table, it

takes over some of the router’s job, simplifying the router’s job and multicast communication.

MLD Multicast Proxy

Protocol) Proxy intercepts the MLD request from Clients a set up the multicast-forwarding table.

it

takes over

some of the router’s job, simplifying the router’s job and multicast communication. Support

MLDv1 and MLDv2.
