Multicast
IGMP (Internet Group Multicast Protocol) is a network-layer protocol used to
establish membership in a multicast group. The ZyXEL Device supports both IGMP
version 1 (
IGMP-v1
) and
IGMP-v2
. Select
None
to disable it.
ATM QoS
ATM QoS Type
Select
CBR
(Continuous Bit Rate) to specify fixed (always-on) bandwidth for voice
or data traffic. Select
UBR
(Unspecified Bit Rate) for applications that are non-time
sensitive, such as e-mail. Select
VBR-RT
(real-time Variable Bit Rate) type for
applications with bursty connections that require closely controlled delay and delay
variation. Select
VBR-nRT
(non real-time Variable Bit Rate) type for connections
that do not require closely controlled delay and delay variation.

WAN More Connections
The ZyXEL Device allows you to configure more than one Internet access connection. To
configure additional Internet access connections click
Network > WAN > More
Connections
. The screen differs by the encapsulation.
Peak Cell Rate
Divide the DSL line rate (bps) by 424 (the size of an ATM cell) to find the Peak Cell
Rate (PCR). This is the maximum rate at which the sender can send cells. Type the
PCR here.
Sustain Cell Rate
The Sustain Cell Rate (SCR) sets the average cell rate (long-term) that can be
transmitted. Type the SCR, which must be less than the PCR. Note that system
default is 0 cells/sec.
Maximum Burst
Size
Maximum Burst Size (MBS) refers to the maximum number of cells that can be sent
at the peak rate. Type the MBS, which is less than 65535.
Zero
Configuration
This feature is not applicable/available when you configure the ZyXEL Device to
use a static WAN IP address or in bridge mode.
Select
Yes
to set the ZyXEL Device to automatically detect the Internet connection
settings (such as the VCI/VPI numbers and the encapsulation method) from the ISP
and make the necessary configuration changes.
Select
No
to disable this feature. You must manually configure the ZyXEL Device
for Internet access.
PPPoE
Passthrough
(PPPoE
encapsulation
only)
This field is available when you select
PPPoE
encapsulation.
In addition to the ZyXEL Device's built-in PPPoE client, you can enable PPPoE
pass through to allow up to ten hosts on the LAN to use PPPoE client software on
their computers to connect to the ISP via the ZyXEL Device. Each host can have a
separate account and a public WAN IP address.
PPPoE pass through is an alternative to NAT for application where NAT is not
appropriate.
Disable PPPoE pass through if you do not need to allow hosts on the LAN to use
PPPoE client software on their computers to connect to the ISP.

Traffic Redirect Example
The following network topology allows you to avoid triangle route security issues when the
backup gateway is connected to the LAN. Use IP alias to configure the LAN into two or three
logical networks with the ZyXEL Device itself as the gateway for each LAN network. Put the
protected LAN in one subnet (Subnet 1 in the following figure) and the backup gateway in
another subnet (Subnet 2). Configure filters that allow packets from the protected LAN
(Subnet 1) to the backup gateway (Subnet 2).

WAN Backup Setup
To configure your ZyXEL Device’s WAN backup, click
Network > WAN > WAN Backup
Setup
.
The following table describes the labels in this screen.
Table 29
WAN Backup Setup
LABEL
DESCRIPTION
Backup Type
Select the method that the ZyXEL Device uses to check the DSL connection.
Select
DSL Link
to have the ZyXEL Device check if the connection to the DSLAM is
up. Select
ICMP
to have the ZyXEL Device periodically ping the IP addresses
configured in the
Check WAN IP Address
fields.
Check WAN IP
Address1-3
Configure this field to test your ZyXEL Device's WAN accessibility. Type the IP
address of a reliable nearby computer (for example, your ISP's DNS server
address).
Note:
If you activate either traffic redirect or dial backup, you must
configure at least one IP address here.
When using a WAN backup connection, the ZyXEL Device periodically pings the
addresses configured here and uses the other WAN backup connection (if
configured) if there is no response.
Fail Tolerance
Type the number of times (2 recommended) that your ZyXEL Device may ping the
IP addresses configured in the
Check WAN IP Address
field without getting a
response before switching to a WAN backup connection (or a different WAN
backup connection).
Recovery Interval
When the ZyXEL Device is using a lower priority connection (usually a WAN backup
connection), it periodically checks whether or not it can use a higher priority
connection.
Type the number of seconds (30 recommended) for the ZyXEL Device to wait
between checks. Allow more time if your destination IP address handles lots of
traffic.
