Router Installation

Desktop Hardware Installation

The site where you install the hub stack may greatly affect its performance. When installing, consider the following pointers:

Note: The router model may be different than the one shown in the example illustrations.

• Install the Router in a fairly cool and dry place.

• Install the Router in a site free from strong electromagnetic field generators (such

as motors), vibration, dust, and direct exposure to sunlight.

• Leave at least 10cm of space at the front and rear of the hub for ventilation.

• Install the Router on a sturdy, level surface that can support its weight, or in an

EIA standard-size equipment rack. For information on rack installation, see the next section, Rack Mounting.

• When installing the Router on a level surface, attach the rubber feet to the

bottom of each device. The rubber feet cushion the hub and protect the hub case from scratching.

IPv6 settings

Network > IPv6

IPv6 (Internet Protocol Version 6) is a new protocol that significantly increases the number of available Internet public IP addresses due to the 128-bit IP address structure versus IPv4 32-bit address structure. In addition, there are several integrated enhancements compared to the most commonly used and well known IPv4 (Internet Protocol Version 4) such as:

• Integrated IPsec – Better Security

• Integrated Quality of Service (QoS) – Lower latency for real-time applications

• Higher Efficiency of Routing – Less transmission overhead and smaller routing

tables

• Easier configuration of addressing

Note: In order to use IPv6 Internet connection settings, it is required that your ISP provide you with the IPv6 service. Please contact your ISP for availability and more information about the IPv6 service.

1. Log into your router management page (see “Access your router management page on page 8).

2. Click on Network and click on IPv6.

Virtual LANs (VLANs)

Network > VLAN

Your router supports port-based 802.1Q VLANs as well inter-VLAN routing. VLANs can be assigned different IP address interfaces in which the router can route be between VLAN IP subnets.

Create a port-based VLAN

1. Log into your router management page (see “Access your router management page on page 8).

2. Click on Network and click VLAN.

3. Before assigning which untagged and tagged VLAN member ports are assigned to a new VLAN, the ports must be set to Off in the default VLAN VID: 1 (LAN). Also, click the Inter VLAN Routing drop-down list and select Enabled to enable communication between the LAN and other VLAN interfaces. Click Apply to save and commit the changes. Example: We will remove ports 5-8 from the default VLAN VID: 1 (LAN)

interface so these ports can be re-assigned as untagged member ports of new VLANs in example below.

4. To create a new 802.1Q VLAN, under the VLANs section, click Add.

5. Under VID, enter the VLAN ID to assign to the new VLAN (4-4094, VLAN IDs 1-3 are reserved for use with the default LAN, WAN1, WAN2 interfaces) and set the untagged VLAN member ports. Example: In the example below, we will create a new VLAN with

VLAN ID: 50 and assign ports 5 & 6 as untagged member ports.

”

6. Enter the VLAN IP interface configuration under IP Address and Subnet Mask.

Example: In the example below, we will enter the VLAN 50 interface IP address as

192.168.50.1 and subnet mask 255.255.255.0.
