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 selec t the corresponding types according t o your needs.

Figure 4-7

Note:

The following section adopts different VPI, VCI to introduce further configuration for the differ ent 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 I nterface

4.4.2.1 ATM-EoA-PPPoE

) to confi gure them again.

If your ISP provides a PPPoE connection and you need to use an ATM Interface, follow the steps below to add a WAN service ov er a selec ted 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 ser vi ce typ e 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 nam e. 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 I SP doesn’t provide it.

 M TU (bytes): Maximum Transmission Unit Size. Check this box then you can change the

MTU s ize. The default MTU value is 1480 Bytes. It is not recommended that you change the default value unless required by your I SP .

 Authentication Method: Select the Authentication Method from the drop-down list, the

default m ethod 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 selec t this option in order to save money.

 Brid ge PPPoE Frame s Between WAN and Local Ports: Select this option to enable PPP

connection i n 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, pleas e contact y our I SP or just leave it.

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

 Obtain an IP address au tomatically: Select this option, the router will be able to obtain IP

netw ork informati on dynam ic ally 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 a lso th e vendor-specific options. In some cases, the router is implemented to perform user-defi ned oper ations (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 DH CP mes sage. DUID/IAID is portion of option 61.

• Option 6 0 V endor 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 w ritten to the system log.
