For use the router properly, it is necessary for you to change the password of web
configuration for security and adjust primary basic settings.
This chapter explains how to setup a password for an administrator and how to adjust basic
settings for accessing Internet successfully. Be aware that only the administrator can change
the router configuration.
22..11 CChhaannggiinngg PPaasssswwoorrdd
To change the password for this device, you have to access into the web browse with default
password first.
1. Make sure your computer connects to the router correctly.
Notice: You may either simply set up your computer to get IP dynamically
from the router or set up the IP address of the computer to be the same
subnet as the default IP address of Vigor router 192.168.1.1. For the
detailed information, please refer to the later section - Trouble Shooting of
this guide.
2. Open a web browser on your PC and type http://192.168.1.1. A pop-up window will
open to ask for username and password. Please type default values (both username and

In the Quick Start Wizard, you can configure the router to access the Internet with different
protocol/modes such as PPPoE, PPPoA, Bridged IP, or Routed IP. The router supports the
Ethernet WAN interface for Internet access.
Now, you have to select an appropriate WAN connection type for connecting to the Internet
through this router according to the settings that your ISP provided.
VPI Stands for Virtual Path Identifier. It is an 8-bit header inside each
Vigor2700Ge/e User’s Guide
ATM cell that indicates where the cell should be routed. The ATM,
is a method of sending data in small packets of fixed sizes. It is
used for transferring data to client computers.
7
VCI Stands for Virtual Channel Identifier. It is a 16-bit field inside
ATM cell’s header that indicates the cell’s next destination as it
travels through the network. A virtual channel is a logical
connection between two end devices on the network.
Protocol/Encapsulation Select an IP mode for this WAN interface. There are several
available modes for Internet access such as PPPoE, PPPoA,
Bridged IP and Routed IP.
Fixed IP Click Yes to specify a fixed IP for the router. Otherwise, click No
(Dynamic IP) to allow the router choosing a dynamic IP. If you
choose No, the following IP Address, Subnet Mask and Default

IP Address Assign a private IP address for the protocol that you select.
Subnet Mask Assign a subnet mask value for the protocol of Routed IP and
Bridged IP.
Default Gateway Assign a private IP address to the gateway for the protocol of
Routed IP and Bridged IP.
Primary DNS Assign a private IP address to the primary DNS.
Second DNS Assign a private IP address to the secondary DNS.
22..22..22 PPPPPPooEE//PPPPPPooAA
PPPoE stands for Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet. It relies on two widely accepted
standards: PPP and Ethernet. It connects users through an Ethernet to the Internet with a
common broadband medium, such as a single DSL line, wireless device or cable modem. All
the users over the Ethernet can share a common connection. And the PPPoA stands for
Point-to-Point Protocol over ATM. PPPoA uses the PPP dial-up protocol with ATM as the
transport.
PPPoE or PPPoA is used for most of DSL modem users. All local users can share one PPPoE
or PPPoA connection for accessing the Internet. Your service provider will provide you
information about user name, password, and authentication mode.
If your ISP provides you the PPPoE or PPPoA connection, please select PPPoE or PPPoA
for this router. The following page will be shown:

IP means Internet Protocol. Every device in an IP-based Network including routers, print
server, and host PCs, needs an IP address to identify its location on the network. To avoid
address conflicts, IP addresses are publicly registered with the Network Information Centre
(NIC). Having a unique IP address is mandatory for those devices participated in the public
network but not in the private TCP/IP local area networks (LANs), such as host PCs under the
management of a router since they do not need to be accessed by the public. Hence, the NIC
has reserved certain addresses that will never be registered publicly. These are known as
private IP addresses, and are listed in the following ranges:
From 10.0.0.0 to 10.255.255.255
From 172.16.0.0 to 172.31.255.255
From 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255

As the router plays a role to manage and further protect its LAN, it interconnects groups of
host PCs. Each of them has a private IP address assigned by the built-in DHCP server of the
Vigor router. The router itself will also use the default private IP address: 192.168.1.1 to
communicate with the local hosts. Meanwhile, Vigor router will communicate with other
network devices through a public IP address. When the data flow passing through, the
Network Address Translation (NAT) function of the router will dedicate to translate
public/private addresses, and the packets will be delivered to the correct host PC in the local
area network. Thus, all of the host PCs can share a common Internet connection.

To acquire a public IP address from your ISP for Vigor router as a customer premises
equipment, there are three common protocols: Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE),
PPPoA and MPoA. Multi-PVC is provided for more advanced setup of the above.
In ADSL deployment, the PPP (Point to Point)-style authentication and authorization is
required for bridging customer premises equipment (CPE). Point to Point Protocol over
Ethernet (PPPoE) connects a network of hosts via an access device to a remote access
concentrator or aggregation concentrator. This implementation provides users with significant
ease of use. Meanwhile it provides access control, billing, and type of service according to
user requirement.
When a router begins to connect to your ISP, a serial of discovery process will occur to ask for
a connection. Then a session will be created. Your user ID and password is authenticated via
PAP or CHAP with RADIUS authentication system. And your IP address, DNS server, and
other related information will usually be assigned by your ISP.
Vigor2700Ge/e User’s Guide

33..11..22 PPPPPPooEE//PPPPPPooAA
PPPoA, included in RFC1483, can be operated in either Logical Link Control-Subnetwork
Access Protocol or VC-Mux mode. As a CPE device, Vigor router encapsulates the PPP
session based for transport across the ADSL loop and your ISP’s Digital Subscriber Line
Access Pultiplexer (SDLAM).

33..22 LLAANN
Local Area Network (LAN) is a group of subnets regulated and ruled by router. The design of
network structure is related to what type of public IP addresses coming from your ISP.
33..22..11 BBaassiiccss ooff LLAANN
The most generic function of Vigor router is NAT. It creates a private subnet of your own. As
mentioned previously, the router will talk to other public hosts on the Internet by using public
IP address and talking to local hosts by using its private IP address. What NAT does is to
translate the packets from public IP address to private IP address to forward the right packets
to the right host and vice versa. Besides, Vigor router has a built-in DHCP server that assigns
private IP address to each local host. See the following diagram for a briefly understanding.
Vigor2700Ge/e User’s Guide
21
In some special case, you may have a public IP subnet from your ISP such as
220.135.240.0/24. This means that you can set up a public subnet or call second subnet that
each host is equipped with a public IP address. As a part of the public subnet, the Vigor router
will serve for IP routing to help hosts in the public subnet to communicate with other public
hosts or servers outside. Therefore, the router should be set as the gateway for public hosts.
WWhhaatt iiss RRoouuttiinngg IInnffoorrmmaattiioonn PPrroottooccooll ((RRIIPP))
Vigor router will exchange routing information with neighboring routers using the RIP to
accomplish IP routing. This allows users to change the information of the router such as IP
address and the routers will automatically inform for each other.
