WAN Settings Below is the first page of the WAN Settings section which allows you to enter the VPI / VCI, connection type, encapsulation mode, and QoS mode for your WAN interface. After you make your selections, click on Add to make specific settings for the connection that you choose. The connection types include the following— • • • • • Dynamic IP Address Static IP Address PPPoE PPPoA Bridge Below is the screen you will see if you select Dynamic IP Address and click on Apply.
If you are using a Static IP, then the below screen includes fields that need to be filled out with information from your ISP.
• Relay LAN site PPPoE session—this feature is where you can relay pppoe packets coming from the pc to the server instead of the router sending the pppoe packets from the router itself. Selecting Bridge Mode automatically changes your connection type to bridge, which changes the WAN status as shown in the screen below (same as the WAN status page).
The WAN status page is an informational page that shows which connection type has been selected for the WAN(s). DNS Enter the IP address of the Domain Name Server and the secondary DNS Address (if available) and click Apply. LAN To configure the LAN settings of the router, click on the LAN folder on the left menu bar. LAN Settings Enter the LAN interface IP address and the LAN subnet mask of the router.
• Disable • Server • Relay Agent Click on Apply after you have finished completing the fields. Below is a screen showing a disabled DHCP mode. Notice that there are no additional required settings after you disable DHCP mode. If you select a Server DHCP mode, then enter the range of IP addresses that can be assigned in the IP Pool Starting Address and IP Pool Ending Address. Also enter the lease time (from a half hour to a maximum of two weeks) for the use of these IP addresses before they must be renewed.
If you set your router as the relay agent, then enter the DHCP Server’s IP address that the router will be routing requests from the PC(s) to the DHCP server. Also select the WAN channel that you are connected to. Each channel can be unique PVC and can be assigned one protocol. Find out from your ISP what protocol and PVC to use. DHCP Client List This screen shows the list of IP addresses that have been obtained through a DHCP server.
STP Bridge If you decide to enable the STP Bridge function of the router, then click on the box and then Apply to save. Wireless This section allows you to configure wireless settings on your router. Wireless Settings This section is the wireless settings page with all the fields already filled in with the router’s default information. You will not need to change the information unless you have specific changes.
improve performance in the presence of radio frequency (RF) interference. If you wish to disable wireless, then click on the Disable radio button and click on Apply. Wireless Security Security settings can be changed on this page. Below are the fields that can be configured. • Authentication Type— • Open—anyone can access the network. The default is a disabled WEP encryption setting. • Shared—WEP encryption is enabled and encryption key strength of 64-bit or 128-bit needs to be selected.
The main difference is that the password is entered manually. A group re-key interval time is also required. • Encryption Type— to encrypt data, select the encryption type that you wish to use. The range is from no encryption at all to the stronger encryption type, TKIP. • • • • • No Encryption WEP 64 (10 digits) WEP 128 (26 digits) Standard 802.1X (WEP) TKIP • Active Key—select which key you wish to be active. • None • Key 1 to Key 4 If you have a radius server, then continue onto the next section.
Wireless ACL The Wireless ACL (Access Control List) page allows you to enter the MAC addresses that you will permit access to your wireless router. If you wish to disable this feature, then click on the disable radio button and click on Apply. Firewall Firewall Settings To enable / disable your router’s built-in firewall, select your choice here and click on Apply to save the settings.
DoS Options This page lets you configure DoS (Denial of Service) firewall options. Options include the following— • Enable Hacker Attack Protect—if this box is checked, then all hacker attack events are logged and dropped. • Discard PING Forward—if this box is checked, then all PING from the WAN side are dropped. • Discard PING the Gateway—if this box is checked, then all PING from the router LAN side is dropped.
Packet Filtering This page allows you to permit or deny network traffic based on the data source, destination, service or protocol of the data packets. To set a filter, make sure that Enable Packet Filter is checked and then click on Add to proceed. Then you will continue to the below screen which allows you to enter the rule by which you wish to filter incoming data packets.
• • • • ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol) AH (Authentication Header) ESP (Encapsulation Security Protocol) ALL—all protocols When a source host sends secure datagrams to a destination host, it does so with either the AH protocol or with the ESP protocol. The AH protocol provides source authentication and data integrity but does not provide secrecy. The ESP protocol provides data integrity and secrecy.
NAT NAT Settings NAT (Network Address Translation) is a technique in which the source and/or destination address of IP packets are rewritten as they pass through a router or firewall. Generally, it is used to allow several hosts on a private network to access the Internet using a single public IP address. This screen allows you to enable or disable NAT. Virtual Server Your router has the option to be configured as a virtual server.
Port Mapping Port Mapping allows WAN clients to access services on the LAN by controlling the incoming port ranges assigned to the server IP. The LAN side acts as the server and the WAN side acts as the client. Enter the IP address of the LAN and a set or a range of port numbers that you will allow to access the specific server. The Port Mapping screen has several fields that need to be filled out before the setup is complete.
Click to enable and then enter the IP address of the DMZ host. Route Static Routing To add a static route, you will need to enter the following information— • Destination LAN IP • Subnet Mask • Gateway Dynamic Routing Dynamic routing can be enabled or disabled here. If you enable, then select the listen mode to be used.
• RIP2 • Both (RIP1 + RIP2) Also needed is the supply mode, which include RIP1 and RIP2. When finished, click on Apply to save the selections.

System Hostname Enter the hostname representing your host and the domain name so you won’t have to enter the IP address anymore and only need to type the hostname.
Administrator Settings To set a password so you can restrict management access to your router, enter the current password and the new password that you wish to change to and reconfirm it again. Backup / Restore This page allows you to save a backup copy of your configurations or to restore previously saved configurations. ________________________________________________________________________ ASUS 4-Port Ethernet Switch + Wi-Fi Router (AAM6X20VI-F1) User Manual Version 1.
