Device Configuration Dual WAN – General Setting 58 Dual WAN Dual WAN, is a feature to have two independent Internet connections connected concurrently, offers a reliable Internet connectivity and maximize bandwidth utilization for critical applications delivery. General Setting Mode: Select a mode then click Save to proceed.
Device Configuration Dual WAN – General Setting (Failover & Failback) 59 Failover & Failback Auto failover/failback ensures always-online network connectivity. When primary WAN link (WAN1) fails, all traffic will switch over to the backup WAN (WAN2) seamlessly. Again, when the primary link is restored, traffic will be handled over from WAN2 to WAN1. WAN Port Service Detection Policy WAN1 (Primary): Choose a desired WAN as the primary WAN Link from the list.
Device Configuration Dual WAN – General Setting (Failover & Failback) 60 Failover/Fallback Rule Decisions: 1. Probe by Ping: Enable Ping to the gateway or an IP address Gateway: Internal system will wait for responses to the pings from the gateway of the WAN. Host: Internal system will wait for responses to the pings from a fixed IP address. 2.
Device Configuration Dual WAN – General Setting (Load Balance) 61 Load Balance Load balance aggregates the bandwidth of the two WAN links to optimize traffic distribution. When primary link, WAN1, goes down, all traffic will be redirected to the backup, WAN2, to ensure service continuity. WAN Port Service Detection Policy WAN1 (Primary): Choose a desired WAN as the primary WAN Link from the list. WAN2 (Backup): Choose a desired WAN as the backup WAN Link from the list.
Device Configuration Dual WAN – Outbound Load Balance 62 Outbound Load Balance The connections are distributed over WAN1 and WAN2 so that it can utilize bandwidth of both WAN ports. With Outbound load balance, traffic may be routed to a faster link when one of the WAN links is slower or congested so that user gains better throughput and less delay. User can distribute outbound traffic based on Session Mechanism or IP Hash Mechanism.
Device Configuration Dual WAN – Protocol Binding 63 Protocol Binding Protocol Binding lets you direct specific traffic to go out from a specific WAN port. Policies determine how specific types of internet traffic are routed, for example, traffic from a specific IP address is granted access to only one WAN port rather than using both of the WAN ports as with load balancing. Rule Index: The numeric rule indicator. The maximum entry is up to 16.
Device Configuration Dual WAN – Protocol Binding The only time it would go through WAN2 interface is when WAN1 has no Internet connection.
Device Configuration Advanced Setup – Firewall 65 Advanced Setup Advanced configuration features provide advanced features, including Firewall, Routing, NAT, VRRP, Static DNS, QoS, Time Schedule and Mail Alert for advanced users. Firewall Your router includes a firewall for helping to prevent attacks from hackers.
Device Configuration Advanced Setup – Routing 66 Routing This is static route feature. You are equipped with the capability to control the routing of all the traffic across your network. With each routing rule created, user can specifically assign the destination where the traffic will be routed to. Index #: The numeric route indicator. Destination IP Address: IP address of the destination network Subnet Mask: The subnet mask of destination network.
Device Configuration Advanced Setup – NAT 67 NAT The NAT (Network Address Translation) feature transforms a private IP into a public IP, allowing multiple users to access the internet through a single IP account, sharing the single IP address. NAT break the originally envisioned model of IP end-to-end connectivity across the Internet, so NAT can cause problems where IPSec/ PPTP encryption is applied or some application layer protocols such as SIP phones are located behind a NAT.
Device Configuration Advanced Setup – NAT (DMZ) 68 DMZ NOTE: This feature disables automatically if WAN connection is in BRIDGE mode or NAT is being turned OFF. The DMZ Host is a local computer which has all UDP and TCP ports exposed to the Internet. When setting an internal IP address as the DMZ Host, all incoming packets will be forwarded to this local host device. Packet filter or virtual server entries will take priority over forwarding internet packets to the DMZ host.
Device Configuration Advanced Setup – NAT (Virtual Server) 69 Virtual Server NOTE: This feature disables automatically if WAN connection is in BRIDGE mode or NAT is being turned OFF. Virtual Server is also known as Port Forwarding that allows MX-210NP-R17AF to direct incoming traffic to a specific device in the network.
Device Configuration Advanced Setup – NAT (Virtual Server) 70 Examples of well-known and registered port numbers are shown below. For further information, please see IANA’s website at http://www.iana.
Device Configuration Advanced Setup – NAT (Example) 71 Example: How to setup Port Forwarding for port 21 (FTP server) If you have a FTP server in your LAN network and want others to access it through WAN. Step 1: Assign a static IP to your local computer that is hosting the FTP server. Step 2: Login to the Gateway and go to Configuration / Advanced Setup / NAT / Virtual Server. FTP server uses TCP protocol with port 21. Enter "21” to Start and End Port Number.
Device Configuration Advanced Setup – VRRP 72 VRRP VRRP is designed to eliminate the single point of failure inherent in the static default routed environment. VRRP specifies an election protocol that dynamically assigns responsibility for a virtual router to one of the VRRP routers in a LAN. The VRRP router controlling the IP address associated with a virtual router is called the Master, and forwards packets sent to these IP addresses.
Device Configuration Advanced Setup – Static DNS 73 Static DNS The Domain Name System (DNS) is a hierarchical naming system built on a distributed database for computers, services, or any resource connected to the Internet or a private network associates various information with domain names assigned to each of the participating entities.
Device Configuration Advanced Setup – QoS 74 QoS QoS helps you control the upload traffic of each application from LAN (Ethernet and/or Wireless) to WAN (Internet). It facilitates you the features to control the quality of throughput for each application. This is useful when there on certain types of data you want giver higher priority to, such as voice data packets given higher priority than web data packets.
Device Configuration Advanced Setup – QoS 75 Protocol: Select a protocol from the drop down list DSCP Marking: Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP), it is the first 6 bits in the ToS byte. DSCP Marking allows users to classify the traffic of the application to be executed according to the DSCP value. Rate Type: Choose Limited (Maximum) or Guaranteed (Minimum) to specify the date rate is allowed for this policy. Rate: Specify the date rate in Kbps.
Device Configuration Advanced Setup – Time Schedule 76 Time Schedule The Time Schedule supports up to 16 timeslots which helps you to manage your Internet connection. In each time profile, you may schedule specific day(s) i.e. Monday through Sunday to restrict or allowing the usage of the Internet by users or applications.
Device Configuration Advanced Setup – Mail Alert 77 Mail Alert Mail alert is designed to keep system administrator or other relevant personnel alerted of any unexpected events that might have occurred to the network computers or server for monitoring efficiency. With this alert system, appropriate solutions may be tackled to fix problems that may have arisen so that the server can be properly maintained. Server Information SMTP Server: Enter the SMTP server that you would like to use for sending emails.
Device Configuration Access Management – Device Management 78 Access Management Device Management Device Host Name Host Name: Enter the host name of the router. Default is home.gateway Embedded Web Server HTTP Port: It is the embedded web server (Web GUI) accessing port, default is 80. It can be changed other port other than port 80, e.g. port 8080. HTTPS Port: Similar to HTTP which is an unencrypted communication using port 80. HTTPS is encrypted by SSL using port 443 instead.
Device Configuration Access Management – SNMP 79 SNMP Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a protocol used for exchanging management information between network devices. The MX-210NP-R17AF serves as a SNMP agent that allows a manager station to manage and monitor the router through the network. SNMP: Activate to enable SNMP. Get Community: Type the Get Community, which is the password for the incoming Get-and-GetNext requests from the management station.
