Enable the Virtual LAN Ports feature: Virtual LAN (VLAN) is a group of devices on one or
more LANs that are configured so that they can communicate as if they were attached to the
same LAN. Because VLANs are based on logical instead of physical connections, it is very
flexible for user/host management, bandwidth allocation and resource optimization. If you
want to active the Interface Grouping function, please check the box to enable the Virtual LAN
Ports feature.
Note:
It is not allowed to disable the VLAN with Ethernet Connection enabled.
To support this feature, you must create mapping groups with appropriate LAN and WAN
interfaces using the Add button.

Select Aggressive Mode to configure IKE phase1 of the VPN Tunnel to carry out negotiation
in a shorter amount of time. (Not Recommended-Less Secure)
Note:
Note:
The difference between the two modes is that aggressive mode will pass more information in
fewer packets, with the benefit of slightly faster connection establishment, at the cost of
transmitting the identities of the security firewall in the clear. When using aggressive mode, some
configuration parameters such as Diffie-Hellman groups and PFS can not be negotiated, resulting
in a greater importance of having "compatible" configuration on both ends.
Key Life Time:Enter the number of seconds for the IPSec lifetime. It is the period of time to
pass before establishing a new IPSec security association (SA) with the remote endpoint. The
default value is 3600.

Start IP Address: Enter a value for the DHCP server to start with when issuing IP addresses.
Because the default IP address for the modem router is 192.168.1.1, the default Start IP
Address is 192.168.1.100, and the Start IP Address must be 192.168.1.100 or greater, but
smaller than 192.168.1.254.
End IP Address: Enter a value for the DHCP server to end with when issuing IP addresses.
The End IP Address must be smaller than 192.168.1.254. The default End IP Address is

from local PCs will forward to the DHCP server runs on WAN side. To have this function
working properly, please run on router mode only, disable the DHCP server on the LAN port,
and make sure the routing table has the correct routing entry.

Choose menu “Forwarding” → “Virtual Server”, and then you can view and add virtual servers
in the next screen (shown in Figure 4-70). Virtual servers can be used for setting up public
services on your LAN. A virtual server is defined as a service port, and all requests from Internet
to this service port will be redirected to the computer specified by the server IP. Any PC that was
used for a virtual server must have a static or reserved IP address because its IP address may
change when using the DHCP function.
Figure 4-70
Service Port: The numbers of External Service Ports. You can enter a service port or a
range of service ports (the format is XX – YY; XX is the Start port and YY is the End port).

Otherwise there will be a conflict to disable the virtual server.
4.14.2 Port Triggering
Choose menu “Forwarding”→ “Port Triggering”, you can view and add port triggering in the
next screen (shown in Figure 4-72). Some applications require multiple connections, such as

Interface: Display the default gateway you have set in 4.5.1 WAN Settings.
Trigger Port: The port for outgoing traffic. An outgoing connection using this port will trigger
this rule.
Trigger Protocol: The protocol used for Trigger Ports. The options are TCP, UDP, or All (all
protocols supported by the modem router). .
Open Port: The port or port range used by the remote system when it responds to the
outgoing request. A response using one of these ports will be forwarded to the PC which
triggered this rule. You can input at most 5 groups of ports (or port sections).
Open Protocol: The protocol used for Open Port. The options are TCP, UDP, or All (all
protocols supported by the modem router).
Status: The status of this entry, Enabled means the Port Triggering entry is enabled.

2. Click Edit as desired on the Edit column.
Click the Enable/ Disabled Selected button to make selected entries enabled/ disabled.
Click the Delete Selected button to delete the selected entries.
Once the modem router is configured, the operation is as follows:
1. A local host makes an outgoing connection to an external host using a destination port
number defined in the Trigger Port field.
2. The modem router records this connection, opens the incoming port or ports associated with
this entry in the Port Triggering table, and associates them with the local host.
3. When necessary, the external host will be able to connect to the local host using one of the
ports defined in the Open Ports field.
Note:
1. When the trigger connection is released, the corresponding opened ports will be closed.
2. Each rule can only be used by one host on the LAN at a time. The trigger connection of other
hosts on the LAN will be refused.
3. Open Ports ranges cannot overlap each other.
4.14.3 DMZ
Choose menu “Forwarding→DMZ”, and then you can view and configure the DMZ host in the
screen (shown in Figure 4-74).The DMZ host feature allows one local host to be exposed to the
Internet for a special-purpose service such as Internet gaming or video-conferencing. The modem
router forwards packets of all services to the DMZ host. Any PC whose port is being forwarded
must have its DHCP client function disabled and should have a new static IP Address assigned to
it because its IP Address may be changed when using the DHCP function.
