below to complete the further configuration of WAN Interface. There are five different configurations for the connection types, which are PPPoE, IPoE, Bridge, PPPoA, and IPoA. You can select the corresponding types according to your needs.

Figure 4-7

 Note:

The following section adopts different VPI, VCI to introduce further configuration for the different connection types, if you need to change the configuration of ATM PVC (VPI/VCI), you should go to the previous section (4.4.1 Layer2 Interface) to configure them again.

4.4.2.1 ATM-EoA-PPPoE

If your ISP provides a PPPoE connection and you need to use an ATM Interface, follow the steps below to add a WAN service over a selected ATM interface:

1.Add a new ATM interface (4.4.1.1 ATM Interface).

2.Click the Add button on the screen Figure 4-7 and you will enter the next screen as shown in Figure 4-8. Click Next.

Figure 4-8

3.Select the WAN service type in Figure 4-9. If your ISP provides a PPPoE connection, select PPPoE option. You can create a service name for the Service Description or leave it the default name. Click Next.

4.Enter the following parameters and then click Next.

Figure 4-10

PPP Username/Password: Enter the Username and Password provided by your ISP. These fields are case-sensitive.

PPPoE Service Name: Enter the Service Name if it was provided by your ISP. You can leave it blank, if the ISP doesn’t provide it.

MTU (bytes): Maximum Transmission Unit Size. Check this box then you can change the MTU size. The default MTU value is 1480 Bytes. It is not recommended that you change the default value unless required by your ISP.

Authentication Method: Select the Authentication Method from the drop-down list, the default method is AUTO, and you can leave it as a default setting.

Dial on demand (with idle timeout timer): The router will cut off the Internet connection after it has been inactive for a specific period of time (idle timeout), and it will automatically

re-establish the connection as soon as you attempt to access the Internet again. If your Internet is charged by time you may want to select this option in order to save money.

Bridge PPPoE Frames Between WAN and Local Ports: Select this option to enable PPP connection in your local PC.

Enable IGMP Multicast Proxy: IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol) is used to manage multicasting on TCP/IP networks. Some ISPs use IGMP to perform remote configuration for client devices, such as the router. The default value is enabled, and if you are not sure, please contact your ISP or just leave it.

5.Select a preferred wan interface as the system default gateway in Figure 4-11 and click Next.

Figure 4-11

6.Configure the DNS Server Addresses on the screen below and click Next.

Figure 4-12

Select DNS Server Interface from available WAN Interfaces: You can select this option to automatically get DNS server information from the selected WAN interface.

Use the following Static DNS IP Address: You can select this option to manually enter the primary and /or optional secondary DNS server IP addresses provided by your ISP.

 Note:

If only single PVC with IPoA is configured, you must enter static DNS server IP addresses.

7.On the next screen you will see the detailed settings you’ve made. Please click the Save/Apply button to save these settings.

8.On the next screen you will see the WAN Port Information Table with the new configuration.

Figure 4-14

Remove: Select the check box in the table above and then click Remove, the corresponding interface will be deleted.

4.4.2.2ATM-EoA-IPoE

If your ISP provides an IPoE connection and you need to use an ATM Interface, follow the steps below to add a WAN service over a selected ATM interface:

1.Add a new ATM interface (4.4.1.1 ATM Interface).

2.Click the Add button on the screen (as shown Figure 4-7). Select WAN Service Interface over ATM PVC on the next screen (as shown Figure 4-8).

3.If your ISP provides an IPoE connection, select IP over Ethernet option for the WAN service type on the screen (as shown Figure 4-9), and click Next button to continue.

4.Enter parameters in the following blanks to configure the WAN IP Address and click Next.

Obtain an IP address automatically: Select this option, the router will be able to obtain IP network information dynamically from a DHCP server provided by your ISP.

Note:

1)The response message from a DHCP server typically contains a number of configuration parameters (DHCP options) for the router. The DHCP options include IP network information, and also the vendor-specific options. In some cases, the router is implemented to perform user-defined operations (as shown below). You can implement your own treatment of all such options.

2)If the router is functioning as a DHCP client, it must identify itself in option 61 (client-identifier) in every DHCP message. DUID/IAID is portion of option 61.

•Option 60 Vendor ID: The option code 60 used to identify Vendor class.

•Option 61 IAID: IAID (Identity Association ID) assigns an Identity Association ID to individual interfaces. In cases where the device is functioning with a single DHCP client identity, it must use value 1 for IAID for all DHCP interactions. In cases where the device is functioning with multiple DHCP client identities, the values of IAID have to start at 1 for the first identity and be incremented for each subsequent identity. For example, the device may use IAID value 1 for the first physical interface and value 2 for the second. Alternatively, the device may use IAID value 1 for the virtual circuit corresponding to the first connection object in the data model and value 2 for the second connection object in the data model.

•Option 61 DUID: Specifies the name of the interface whose link-layer address the server is to use as its DUID (DHCP Unique Identifier). You must enter a value for this parameter or the server will not start. When the server starts, the DUID is written to the system log.
