13.11. DoS Setting This page allows you to prevent form external attacks. 13.12. IGMP Proxy Multicasting is useful when the same data needs to be sent to more than one hosts. Using multicasting as opposed to sending the same data to the individual hosts uses less network bandwidth. The multicast feature also enables you to receive multicast video stream from multicast servers. IP hosts use Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) to report their multicast group memberships to neighboring routers.
The IGMP Proxy page allows you to enable multicast on WAN and LAN interfaces. The LAN interface is always served as downstream IGMP proxy, and you can configure one of the available WAN interfaces as the upstream IGMP proxy. Upstream: The interface that IGMP requests from hosts is sent to the multicast router. Downstream: The interface data from the multicast router are sent to hosts in the multicast group database.
13.13. RIP RIP is an Internet protocol you can set up to share routing table information with other routing devices on your LAN, at your ISP’s location, or on remote networks connected to your network via the ADSL line. Most small home or office networks do not need to use RIP; they have only one router, such as the ADSL Router, and one path to an ISP. In these cases, there is no need to share routes, because all Internet data from the network is sent to the same ISP gateway.
Apply Changes Click to save the setting of this setting block to the system configuration Fields on the second setting block: Field Description Interface The name of the interface on which you want to enable RIP. Receive Mode Indicate the RIP version in which information must be passed to the DSL device in order for it to be accepted into its routing table. Send Mode Indicate the RIP version this interface will use when it sends its route information to other devices.
Fields in this page: Field Description Ageing Time Set the Ethernet address ageing time, in seconds. After [Ageing Time] seconds of not having seen a frame coming from a certain address, the bridge will time out (delete) that address from Forwarding Database (fdb). 802.1d Spanning Tree Enable/disable the spanning tree protocol Function buttons in this page: Apply Changes Save this bridge configuration. New configuration will take effect after saving into flash memory and rebooting the system.
14.3. Routing The Routing page enables you to define specific route for your Internet and network data. Most users do not need to define routes. On a typical small home or office LAN, the existing routes that set up the default gateways for your LAN hosts and for the DSL device provide the most appropriate path for all your Internet traffic. On your LAN hosts, a default gateway directs all Internet traffic to the LAN port(s) on the DSL device.
Fields in this page: Field Description Enable Check to enable the selected route or route to be added. Destination The network IP address of the subnet. The destination can be specified as the IP address of a subnet or a specific host in the subnet. It can also be specified as all zeros to indicate that this route should be used for all destinations for which no other route is defined (this is the route that creates the default gateway). Subnet Mask The network mask of the destination subnet.
Update Update the selected destination route on the Static Route Table. Delete Selected Delete a selected destination route on the Static Route Table. Show Routes Click this button to view the DSL device’s routing table. The IP Route Table displays, as shown in Figure. 14.4. UPnP Configuration Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) defines protocols and common procedures to guarantee the interoperability among PCs allowed in network, applications and wireless devices.
14.5. SNMP Configuration Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a troubleshooting and management protocol that uses the UDP protocol on port 161 to communicate between clients and servers. The DSL device can be managed locally or remotely by SNMP protocol.
Field Description System Description System description of the DSL device. System Contact Contact person and/or contact information for the DSL device. System Name An administratively assigned name for the DSL device. System Location The physical location of the DSL device. System Object ID Vendor object identifier. The vendor’s authoritative identification of the network management subsystem contained in the entity. Trap IP Address Destination IP address of the SNMP trap.
14.7. Other advanced configuration This page allows configuring the modem in Half Bridge mode. If it is enabled the modem will turn to be visible. The DHCP will duplicate the WAN IP from its local ISP to your PC and only one PC of the local network will be allowed to connect to internet.
14.8.
15. Diagnostic This ADSL device supports some very useful diagnostic tools: 15.1. Ping Once you have your DSL device configured, it is a good idea to make sure you can ping the network. A ping command sends a message to the host you specify. If the host receives the message, it sends messages in reply. To use it, you must know the IP address of the host you are trying to communicate with and enter the IP address in the Host Address field.
15.2. Traceroute Through this tool you can track the packets going from one network point to the other. 15.3. ATM Loopback In order to isolate the ATM interface problems, you can use ATM OAM loopback cells to verify connectivity between VP/VC endpoints, as well as segment endpoints within the VP/VC. ATM uses F4 and F5 cell flows as follows: • • F4: used in VPs F5: used in VCs An ATM connection consists of a group of points.
16. Admin 16.1. Commit / Reboot Whenever you use the Web configuration to change system settings, the changes are initially placed in temporary storage. These changes will be lost if the device is reset or turn off.
16.2. Backup/Restore This page allows you to backup and restore your configuration into and from file in your host.
16.3. Password Setup The first time you log into the system, you use the default password. In this page you can change the Access details if needed. Fields in this page: Field Description User Name Selection of user levels are: admin and user. Old Password Enter the old password for this selected login. New Password Enter the new password here. Confirmed Password Enter the new password here again to confirm. 16.4.
16.5. TR-069 Config. TR-069 is a protocol for communication between a CPE and Auto-Configuration Server (ACS).
Fields in this page: ACS Field Description URL ACS URL. For example, http://10.0.0.1:80 https://10.0.0.1:443 User Name The username the DSL device should use when connecting to the ACS. Password The password the DSL device should use when connecting to the ACS.
