Configuring Network Overview

Overview

The Network module provides basic router functions, including WAN connection, DHCP service, VLAN, IPTV service and more.

1.1 Supported Features

WAN

The router can provide a maximum of four WAN ports. Each WAN port has its own internet connection, providing link backup and load balancing.

LAN

For LAN configuration, you can configure the LAN IP address and DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server. With its DHCP server enabled, the router can automatically assign IP addresses to hosts in the LAN.

IPTV

IPTV services is based on the Internet protocol, rather than through traditional satellite signal or cable transmission.

The router supports three kinds of IPTV configuration according to your ISP



IPTV based on IGMP.



IPTV in Bridge mode.



IPTV in Custom mode.

MAC

You can change the default MAC address of the WAN port or LAN port according to your needs.

Switch

The router supports some basic switch port management functions, like Port Mirror, Rate Control, Flow Control and Port Negotiation, to help you to monitor the traffic and manage the network effectively.

VLAN

：

The router supports 802.1Q VLAN, which can divide the LAN into multiple VLANs, helping to manage the network more effectively.

IPv6

You can set up an IPv6 internet connection if your ISP provides IPv6 service.

User Guide 12

Configuring Network WAN Configuration

WAN Configuration

You can configure at most four WAN ports. Each WAN port can have its own WAN connection, providing link backup and load balancing.

To complete WAN configuration, follow these steps:

1) Configure the number of WAN ports.

2) Configure the WAN connection.

2.1 Configuring the Number of WAN Ports

Choose the menu Network > WAN > WAN Mode to load the following page.

Figure 2-1 Configuring the WAN Mode

WAN Mode Specify the number of WAN ports.

1: Configure physical interface 1 as WAN1.

2: Configure physical interface 1 and interface 2 as WAN1 and WAN2 respectively.

3: Configure physical interface 1, interface 2 and interface3 as WAN1, WAN2 and WAN3 respectively.

4: Configure physical interface 1, interface 2, interface 3 and interface 4 as WAN1, WAN2, WAN3 and WAN4 respectively.

Note:

When a WAN port is added, a port-related tab is automatically added; when a WAN port is de-

•

leted, the port-related tab is automatically deleted.

The router will reboot after switching the WAN mode.

•

2.2 Configuring the WAN Connection

The router supports six connection types: Static IP, Dynamic IP, PPPoE, L2TP, PPTP and BigPond Cable, you can choose one according to the service provided by your ISP.

User Guide

Configuring Network WAN Configuration

Static IP: If your ISP provides you with a fixed IP address and the corresponding parameters, choose Static IP.

Dynamic IP: If your ISP automatically assigns the IP address and the corresponding parameters, choose Dynamic IP.

PPPoE: If your ISP provides you with a PPPoE account, choose PPPoE.

L2TP: If your ISP provides you with an L2TP account, choose L2TP.

PPTP: If your ISP provides you with a PPTP account, choose PPTP.

BigPond Cable: If your ISP provides you with a BigPond Cable account, choose BigPond

Cable. BigPond Cable is only available for Australian users.



Configuring the Dynamic IP

Choose the menu Network > WAN > WAN to load the following page.

Figure 2-2 Configuring the Dynamic IP

In the Connection Configuration section, select the connection type as Dynamic IP. Enter the corresponding parameters and click Save.

Connection Type Choose the connection type as Dynamic IP if your ISP automatically assigns the IP

address.

Host Name Optional. Enter a name for the router. It is null by default.

Upstream Bandwidth

Downstream Bandwidth

Specify the upstream bandwidth of the WAN port. The value configured here is the upper limit of the “Maximum Upstream Bandwidth” on Transmission > Bandwidth Control > Bandwidth Control page, to make “Bandwidth Control” take effect, please ensure this parameter is set correctly.

Specify the downstream bandwidth of the WAN port. The value configured here is the lower limit of the “Maximum Downstream Bandwidth” on Transmission > Bandwidth Control > Bandwidth Control page, to make “Bandwidth Control” take effect, please ensure this parameter is set correctly.

User Guide 14

Configuring Network WAN Configuration

MTU Specify the MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) of the WAN port.

MTU is the maximum data unit transmitted in the physical network. When Dynamic IP is selected, MTU can be set in the range of 576-1500 bytes. The default value is

1500.

Primary/ Secondary DNS

VLAN Add the WAN port to a VLAN. Generally, you don’t need to manually configure it

Get IP using Unicast DHCP

Connect/ Disconnect

Optional. Enter the IP address of the DNS server provided by your ISP.

unless required by your ISP.

By default, the WAN port is automatically assigned to a VLAN, and the egress rule of the VLAN is UNTAG, so the packets are transmitted by the WAN port without VLAN tags. If you want the WAN port to transmit packets with VLAN tag, you need to create the corresponding VLAN first and configure its egress rule as TAG, then manually add the WAN port to that VLAN. To create VLANs, go to Network > VLAN > VLAN.

Note: When using the IPTV function, either in Bridge mode or Custom mode, the router will automatically create corresponding VLANs after you finished the configuration, and add port 1 (WAN 1) to the VLANs. Users cannot then manually select the VLAN that WAN 1 belongs to.

The broadcasting requirement may not be supported by a few ISPs. Select this option if you can not get the IP address from your ISP even with a normal network connection. This option is not required generally.

Click the button to active/terminate the connection.

Configuring the Static IP

Choose the menu Network > WAN > WAN to load the following page.

Figure 2-3 Configuring the Static IP

In Connection Configuration section, select the connection type as Static IP. Enter the corresponding parameters and click Save.

User Guide

Configuring Network WAN Configuration

Connection Type Choose the connection type as Static IP if your ISP has offered you a fixed IP

address.

IP Address Enter the IP address provided by your ISP.

Subnet Mask Enter the subnet mask provided by your ISP.

Default Gateway Enter the default gateway provided by your ISP.

Upstream Bandwidth

Optional. Enter the IP address of the DNS server provided by your ISP.

unless required by your ISP.

Note: When using the IPTV function, either in Bridge mode or Custom mode, the router will automatically create corresponding VLANs after you finished the configuration, and add port 1 (WAN1) to the VLANs. Users cannot then manually select the VLAN that WAN 1 belongs to.

By default, the WAN port is automatically assigned to a VLAN by default, and the egress rule of the VLAN is UNTAG, so the packets are transmitted by the WAN port without VLAN tags. If you want the WAN port to transmit packets with VLAN tag, you need to create the corresponding VLAN first and configure its egress rule as TAG, then manually add the WAN port to that VLAN. To create VLANs, go to Network >

VLAN > VLAN.

Note: When using the IPTV function, either in Bridge mode or Custom mode,

the router will automatically create corresponding VLANs after you finished the configuration, and add port 1 (WAN 1) to the VLANs. Users cannot then manually select the VLAN that WAN 1 belongs to.
