IP addresses are close to being used up and thus very hard to get. One solution to this problem is "private" IP addresses. Private IP addresses are ranges of IP addresses set aside expressly for use by a company or other entity internally. Private IP addresses are non-routable and, therefore, cannot be used to connect directly to the Internet.
Some of the advantages of private IP addresses include:
y Increased security, since private IP addresses are not routable across the Internet y You conserve the world-wide pool of IP addresses y You do not have to register or pay for these IP addresses in any way
The LAN Settings menu lets you configure private LAN IP settings and private IP address pools for the Gateway. To access the LAN Settings menu, click LAN in the menu bar. Figure 24 shows an example of the menu and Table 9 describes the settings you can select.

QoS Settings Menu
Quality of Service (QoS) refers to a collection of techniques for identifying data whose delivery across the network is time sensitive, and managing its delivery through both bandwidth allocation and prioritization schemes
Using the QoS Settings menu, you can enable the Gateway’s QoS module to provide guarantees on the ability of the network to deliver predictable results. To access the QoS menu, click QOS in the menu bar. Figure 30 shows an example of the menu.
By default, QoS is enabled. To enable the Gateway’s QoS module, check Enable QOS
Module and click Apply. To disable the Gateway’s QoS module, uncheck Enable QOS Module and click Apply.
If you enable the Gateway’s QoS module, the following submenus appear under QOS in the menu bar:
y Port - lets you configure the priority queue to which the switch port is mapped. See page
64.
y COS - lets you define four queues to which the CoS is mapped. See page 65. y DSCP - lets you define the QoS class queue to which the customized DSCP is mapped.
See page 67.
y Queue - lets you specify whether QoS behavior runs with strict or weighted priority. See
page 69.
y DSCP Remarking - lets you define the DSCP remarking action and mode. See page 71.

CoS Settings Menu
Given that there will always be points in the network where multiple traffic streams merge or where network links will change speed and capacity, it is important to move traffic on the basis of relative importance. Without CoS prioritization, less important traffic can consume network bandwidth and slow down or halt the delivery of more important traffic. For example, without CoS, most traffic received by the Gateway is forwarded with the same priority it had upon entering the Gateway. In many cases, such traffic is ‘‘normal’’ priority and competes for bandwidth with all other normal-priority traffic, regardless of its relative importance to your requirements. CoS helps to keep the most important network traffic moving at an acceptable speed, regardless of current bandwidth usage. This means you can manage available bandwidth so that the switch transmits the most important traffic first.
The CoS Settings menu lets you configure a CoS priority of 0 through 7 for an outbound packet. When the packet is then sent to a port, the CoS priority determines which outbound queue the packet uses. After configuring CoS priority for outbound packets, use this menu to map the classes of service to the Gateway’s four ports.
To access the CoS Settings menu, click QOS in the menu bar and then click the CoS submenu in the menu bar. Figure 32 shows an example of the menu.
Note: The COS submenu is not available in the menu bar if Enable QOS Module is not checked in the QoS Settings menu (see page 62).

DSCP Based QoS Menu
The DSCP Based QoS menu lets you classify and prioritize traffic using DSCP tags. DSCP allows the Gateway to determine how traffic classes should be prioritized. Using the DSCP Based QoS menu, you can use DSCP to provide different levels of service to conforming and non-conforming traffic by appropriately selecting the DSCP values in this menu. The Gateway uses the Hierarchical Token Bucket queuing algorithm, which divides the 64 possible DSCP code values into 8 queues.
Table 11 shows the actual queuing.

Map frame priority to CS code points = select this option for Quality of Service configurations that use
class selector (CS) code points to mark packets. CS provides code points that can be used for backward compatibility with IP Precedence. IP Precedence is a legacy technology that the Gateway supports for backwards compatibility.
Request a remarking action when DSCP equals one of the following CPs
Expedited Forwarding Code Point
Assured Forwarding Code Points
Class Selector Code Points
Zero When checked, lets the Gateway request a remarking action if DSCP equals zero. By default, this option is
Others When checked, lets the Gateway request a remarking action if DSCP equals a non-zero value. By default,
Expedited forwarding provides a low-loss, low-latency, low-jitter, and assured bandwidth service. Applications such as VoIP, video, and other time sensitive applications require a robust network treatment like expedited forwarding. When checked, the Gateway requests a remarking action if DSCP equals an expedited forwarding code point. By default, this option is not checked.
Assured forwarding defines a method by which packets can be given different forwarding assurances. Traffic can be divided into different classes and then each class given a certain percentage of bandwidth. For example, one class could have 50% of the available link bandwidth, another class could have 30%, and another 20% of the bandwidth. When checked, the Gateway requests a remarking action if DSCP equals an assured forwarding code point. By default, this option is not checked.
Class Selector code points are code points that can be used for backward compatibility with IP Precedence models. When checked, lets the Gateway request a remarking action if DSCP equals a class selector code point. By default, this option is checked, but does not take effect until the OSPF Status changes to ENABLE.

Using the Static Routes menu, you can add up to eight static routes, containing different networks and subnets, to routers connected to the Gateway. The following example describes how to configure a static route For example, assume that a router called SMC is connected to the Gateway with subnet address 111.222.33.0 attached to it. Also, assume that the router’s IP address in the Gateway subnet is 192.168.100.33. In this example, you can add a static route named SMC, with a destination IP address of 111.222.33.0, a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0, and a gateway IP address of 192.168.100.33.
Adding Static Routes
To add static routes:
1. In the Static Routes menu, click Add. The Add Static Routes menu in Figure 38 appears.
2. Complete the fields in the Add Static Routes menu (see Table 18).
3. Click Apply. (Or click Back to return to the Static Routes menu or Cancel to cancel any
selections you made.) If you clicked Apply, the static route is added to the Static Routing Table.
4. To define additional static routes (up to eight), repeat steps 1 through 3.

IP address is the network portion and which part is the host portion.
Gateway IP Locally assigned IP address on the Gateway that allows contact between the Gateway and the
remote network or host.
RIP Control Menu
RIP sends routing-update messages at regular intervals. When a router receives a routing update that includes changes to an entry, it updates its routing table to reflect the new route. The metric value for the path is increased by 1, and the sender is indicated as the next hop. RIP routers maintain only the best route (the route with the lowest metric value) to a destination. After updating its routing table, the router immediately begins transmitting routing updates to inform other network routers of the change. These updates are sent independently of the regularly scheduled updates that RIP routers send.
In general, when a router sends a routing update, the following authentication sequence occurs
1. A router sends a routing update with a key and the corresponding key number to the
neighbor router.
2. The receiving (neighbor) router checks the received key against the same key stored in its
own memory.
3. If the two keys match, the receiving router accepts the routing update packet. If the two
keys do not match, it rejects the routing update packet.
Using the RIP Control menu, you can configure the way how the Gateway adjusts to physical changes in the network’s layout and exchange routing tables with other routers. To access the RIP Control menu, click Routing in the menu bar and then click the RIP Control submenu. Figure 46 shows an example of the menu and Table 21 describes the options.

OSPF Control Menu
OSPF is a router protocol used in larger autonomous system networks in preference to RIP, an older routing protocol that is installed in many of today's corporate networks. Using OSPF, a host that obtains a change to a routing table or detects a change in the network immediately multicasts the information to all other hosts in the network, so that all have the same routing table information. Unlike RIP, in which the entire routing table is sent, the host using OSPF sends only the part that has changed. With RIP, the routing table is sent to a neighbor host at a pre-determined interval. OSPF multicasts the updated information only when a change has taken place.
Using the OSPF Control menu, you can control how the Gateway uses OSPF. You can also add more than one OSPF area to the cable interface.
To access the OSPF Control menu, click Routing in the menu bar and then click the OSPF Control submenu. Figure 40 shows an example of the menu and Table 15 describes the options.

default pre-shared key is required.
WPS Setup
Using the WPS Setup menu, you can enable or disable WPS. WPS is a standard for easy and secure wireless network set up and connections.
The advantages of WPS are:
y WPS automatically configures the network name (SSID) and WPA security key for the
Gateway and for the access point and wireless devices that join the network.
y You do not need to know the network name and security keys or passphrases to use
WPS to join a wireless network.
y No one can guess your security keys or passphrase because they are generated
randomly.
y WPS uses the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP), which is a strong authentication
protocol used in WPA2.
The disadvantages of WPS are:
y Unless all the Wi-Fi devices on the network are WPS-compatible, you cannot take
advantage of the ease of securing the network.
y Not all wireless equipment supports WPS.

y If your wireless devices do not support WPS, it can be hard to join a network that was
set up with WPS because the wireless network name and security key are random sequences of letters and numbers.
