Preparing Your Network
In this chapter, yo u’ll learn what to do before configuring your
network.
efore configuring your router, you need set up the computers in your
network for TCP/IP networking and collect relevant ISP information
if necessary.
Configuring Windows for IP Networking
Each computer in your network should be configured for
TCP/IP networking. There are two ways to configure your
computers:
You are commended to use DHCP, then you can simply
▪
choose to receive an IP address automatically. For detailed
instructions, see Configure Windows to Receive Dynamic IP
Address.
▪ If you don’t use DHCP, you need ass ig n an IP ad dre ss to
each computer manually. For detailed instructions, refer to
your Windows Documentation.
To Configure Windows to Receive Dynamic IP Address:
1. Click Start, then choose Settings > Network and Dial-up Connections.
2. Select the name of your ISP connection.

Collecting ISP Info rmation
You need query the relevant information from your ISP before
configuring your router, for example:
▪ Has your ISP assigned you a static or dynamic IP address? If
you have obtained one static IP address, what is it?
▪ Does your ISP use PPPoE? If so, what is your PPPoE user
name and passw ord?

ADVANCED FUNCTIONS: VIRTUAL SERVERS
¡
Virtual Servers
In some situations, you might want users on the Internet to be able to access
servers on your LAN, such as an FTP Server, Telnet Server or Web Server.
Such remote services are accomplished by creating Virtual Server.
Each virtual server has its own IP address and shares a single public IP
address. It is defined by the Protocol type (TCP, UDP or Both) and a
TCP/UDP/Both port number. Only the enabled virtual servers can be
accessed by remote users over the Internet.
Note - Configuring virtual servers may cause filters to be
automatically created on the Filters page.

ADVANCED FUNCTIONS: SNMP
SNMP
The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is an application layer
protocol that faciliti es the exchange of management information between
network devices. It is part of TCP/IP (Transmission Control
protocol/Internet Protocol) suite an d enables yo u to control and monitor the
network in a simple way.
On the SNMP page, you can edit the basic Agent information and also
configure up to 6 SNMP trap receiver’s IP Addresses. When a trap
condition occurs, your router will send an SNMP trap message to any NMS
(Network Management System) specified as trap receivers, for exa mple ,
when power supply errors occur.
Notes
▪ NMS (Network Management System) is an SNMP management
application together with the computer it runs on.
▪ Currently the Company AP Router supports SNMPv1
(SNMP version 1) and SNMPv2 (SNMP version 2) which
have a number of features in common except for some
enhancements.
And moreover, you can specify different community names for
authenticating access to the management information, which functi on as
embedded passwords:
Read: Gives you READ access to all the management
▪
information, but does not allow WRITE access.
Write: Gives you both READ and WRITE access to al l the

management infor ma tion.
Note – The community name definitions on your NMS must
match at least one of the above two community name
definitions.

Static Routing
The Static Routing is used to configure static routes to remote networks
manually, where the route is predefined and is not supervised by the Routing
Information Protocol (RIP). It can explicitly reduce the network traffic and
speed the Internet connects for a small network.
However, it may fall into a certain disadvanta ge. When a static router
involves more than one Hop, if the connection to the next hop goes down, the
router cannot be aware of the invalid path and continues to route traffic on
this hop.
On the Static Routing page, you can add up to 20 static routes by indicating:
Destination LAN IP address and Subnet Mask
▪
Remote gateway
▪
▪ Hop
Router interface through which to forward the packets to the
▪
destination.
Note – If the network topology changes, you may have to
make changes to the static routing tables for relevant static
routes.

segment. For standard class "C" LANs, the network
address is the first 3 fields of this Destination LAN
IP, the 4th field can be left at 0.
Specifies the Subnet Mask used on the remote LAN
segment. For class "C" networks, the standard
Network Mask is 255.255.255.0.
Specifies the IP Address of the router on the local
LAN segment to which this device is attached.
Note that it is NO T the router on the r em ot e LAN
segment.
Specifies the number of routers that must be
traversed to reach the remote LAN segment. Valid
values are 1 to 16.
Specifies the interface through which the router
goes to the next hop or a particular ne t work.
Available options are WAN, LAN and DMZ.
The new static route appears in the static routing list.
