7.2.2

Common configuration

Common configuration allows you to configure your TCP/IP settings for the wan network.

You can switch between the Static, DHCP or PPPoE protocol by selecting the protocol that you want to use and

then pressing

Switch Protocol.

7.2.2.1

General Setup

7.2.2.1.1

Static:

This is the configuration setup for when you select the static protocol.

Filed name

Sample

Explanation

1.

IPv4 address

192.168.99.162

Your routers address on the WAN network

2.

IPv4 netmask

255.255.255.0

A mask used to define how “large” the WAN network is

3.

IPv4 gateway

192.168.99.254

Address where the router will send all the outgoing traffic

4.

IPv4 broadcast

192.168.99.255

Broadcast address (auto generated if not set). It is best to leave this

blank unless you know what you are doing.

5.

Use custom DNS

servers

8.8.8.8

8.8.6.6

Usually the gateway has some predefined DNS servers. As such the

router, when it needs to resolve a hostname (“www.google.com”,

“www.cnn.com”, etc…) to an IP address, it will forward all the DNS

requests to the gateway. By entering custom DNS servers the router

will take care of host name resolution. You can enter multiple DNS

servers to provide redundancy in case the one of the server fails.

7.2.2.1.2

DHCP:

When you select the DHCP protocol you can use it as is, because most networks will not require any additional

advanced configuration.

7.2.2.1.3

PPPoE

This protocol is mainly used by DSL providers:

This is the configuration setup for when you select PPPoE protocol.

Filed name

Sample

Explanation

1.

PAP/CHAP username

test

carriers network.

2.

PAP/CHAP password

your_password

A mask used to define how “large” the WAN network is

3.

Access Concentrator

auto

Specifies the name of access concentrator. Leave empty to auto

detect.

4.

Service Name

auto

Specifies the name of the service. Leave empty to auto detect.

7.2.2.2

Advanced

These are the advanced settings for each of the protocols, if you are unsure of how to alter these attributes it is

highly recommended to leave them to a trained professional:

7.2.2.2.1

Static

Field name

Sample value

Explanation

1.

Disable NAT

On/Off

Toggle NAT on and off.

2

Override MAC address

86:48:71:B7:E9:E4

Override MAC address of the WAN interface. If your ISP gives you

a static IP address it might also bind it to your computers MAC

address (i.e. that IP will only work with your computer). In this

field you can enter your computers MAC address and fool the

gateway in thinking that it is communicating with your computer.

3.

Override MTU

1500

Maximum Transmission Unit

–

specifies the largest possible size

of a data packet.

4.

Use gateway metric

0

The WAN configuration by default generates a routing table

entry. With this field you can alter the metric of that entry.

7.2.2.2.2

DHCP

Field name

Sample value

Explanation

1.

Disable NAT

Enable/Disable

If checked, router will not perform NAT (masquerade) on this

interface

2

3.

Use default gateway

Enable/Disable

If unchecked, no default route is configured

4.

Use DNS server

advertised by peer

Enable/Disable

If unchecked, the advertised DNS server addresses are ignored

5.

User gateway metric

0

The WAN configuration by default generates a routing table entry
