Using the Ethernet

Configuration Settings

Do I need to change my Ethernet settings?

The

Ethernet Configuration

page contains information about the

Ethernet ports on your ADSL modem. Typically you should not

need to change these settings. However, if you are having problems

establishing your Ethernet connection, you may need to change the

Speed/Duplex

value to match that of the Ethernet NIC in your

computer. Here is a picture of the

Ethernet Configuration

page:

The following table describes the Ethernet Configuration settings.

If you change any of the settings, click

Setting Up a Static Routing

Table

Do I need static routing?

Most users do not need to set up static routes. The default route

used in your modem will forward all packets correctly. However, if

you set up your network with different subnets, you can use static

routing to ensure your packets are handled correctly.

You can manually create a static route to tell the modem how to

reach a specific IP network. The route entry specifies a destination

network (or single host), together with a mask to indicate what

range of addresses the network covers, and a next-hop gateway

address or interface. If there is a choice of routes for a destination,

the route with the most specific mask is chosen.

To route to a destination that is not on any local network, a route

may be added via a gateway, for instance another router. The

gateway IP address must be on the same subnet as one of the

router's interfaces. Here is a picture of the

Static Routes

Adding Extra Security with

Advanced Firewall Filtering

Do I need extra security?

Setting up advanced firewall security provides an additional layer of

security. For example, if you create a DMZ interface for gaming

using the

Virtual Server/DMZ

page, you can enable the firewall

filtering and add a security policy that blocks IP addresses, ports,

aliases, and certain protocols from reaching the DMZ machine.

When you use the

Advanced Firewall Filtering

feature, you will

move through multiple screens. Follow the steps below to set up

this feature.

1

Open the

Firewall Configuration

page by clicking

Firewall

on the

Advanced Setup

page:

Important!

Do not

Enable Advanced Firewall Filtering

on

the

Firewall Configuration

page until you create your security

policy. Otherwise, if you

Enable Firewall Filtering

before

you create your policy, you will block all outgoing and

incoming traffic. To set up your policy, click the link to

Security Policy Configuration

and open the page.

Choose the

Policy Type

that you want then click the

Policy

Rules

link. You can set one of three

Policy Types

. Choose

the

External – Internal

policy to allow or block what is sent

from the WAN to the LAN. Choose the

External –DMZ

policy to allow or block what is sent from the WAN to the

DMZ machine or the Virtual Server. Choose the

DMZ-

Internal

policy to allow or block what is sent from a DMZ

machine to your LAN.
