The function of each configuration sub-item is described in the following sections.
LAN - Local Area Network A Local Area Network (LAN) is a shared communication system network where many computers are connected. This type of network is area defined and is usually limited to a confined region within a building. Ethernet Parameters Group Name: This refers to the group you set in Interface Grouping section; you can set the parameters for the specific group. Select the group via the drop-down box. For more information please refer to Interface Grouping of this manual.
IGMP LAN to LAN Multicast: Check to determine whether to support LAN to LAN (Intra LAN) Multicast. If user want to have a multicast data source on LAN side and he wants to get IGMP snooping enabled, then this LAN-to-LAN multicast feature should be enabled. LAN side firewall: Enable to drop all traffic from the specified LAN group interface. After activating it, all incoming packets by default will be dropped, and the user on the specified LAN group interface can't access CPE anymore.
DHCP Server IP Address: Please enter the DHCP Server IP address. Static IP List The specified IP will be assigned to the corresponding MAC Address listed in the following table when DHCP Server assigns IP Addresses to Clients. Press Add to the Static IP List. Enter the MAC Address, IP Address, and then click Apply to confirm your settings. But the IP assigned should be outside the range of 192.168.1.100-192.168.1.199.
IPv6 Autoconfig The IPv6 address composes of two parts, the prefix and the interface ID. There are two ways to dynamically configure IPv6 address on hosts. One is “stateful” configuration, for example using DHCPv6 (which resembles its counterpart DHCP in IPv4.) In the stateful autoconfiguration model, hosts obtain interface addresses and/or configuration information and parameters from a DHCPv6 server. The Server maintains a database that keeps track of which addresses have been assigned to which hosts.
DHCPv6 Server Type: Select Stateless or Stateful. When DHCPv6 is enabled, this parameter is available. Stateless: If selected, the PCs in LAN are configured through RA mode, thus, the PCs in LAN are configured through RA mode, to obtain the prefix message and generate an address using a combination of locally available information (MAC address) and information (prefix) advertised by routers, but they can obtain such information like DNS from DHCPv6 Server.
Stateless and Stateful IPv6 address Configuration Stateless: Two methods can be carried. With DHCPv6 disabled, but Issue Router Advertisement Enabled With this method, the PCs in LAN are configured through RA mode, thus, the PCs in LAN are configured through RA mode, to obtain the prefix message and generate an address using a combination of locally available information (MAC address) and information (prefix) advertised by routers.
Stateful: two methods can be adopted. With only DHCPv6 enabled With this method, the PCs’ addresses are configured the same as in IPv4, that is addresses are assigned by DHCPv6 server. With both DHCPv6 and Issue Router Advertisement Enabled With this method, the PCs’ addresses are configured the same like above, and the address information in RA packets will be neglected.
Interface Grouping Interface grouping is a function to group interfaces, known as VLAN. A Virtual LAN, commonly known as a VLAN, is a group of hosts with the common set of requirements that communicate as if they were attached to the same broadcast domain, regardless of the physical location. A VLAN has the same attributes as a physical LAN, but it allows for end stations to be grouped together even if they are not located on the same network switch. Each group will perform as an independent network.
Click Add to add groups. Group Name: Type a group name. Grouped WAN Interfaces: Select from the box the WAN interface you want to applied in the group. Grouped LAN Interfaces: Select the LAN interfaces you want to group as a single group from Available LAN Interfaces. Automatically Add Clients with following DHCP Vendor IDs: Enter the DHCP Vendor IDs for which you want the Clients automatically added into the group. DHCP vendor ID (DHCP 60) is an Authentication for DHCP Messages.
In group "test", P2 and PPP0.1 are grouped in one group, they have their only network , see LAN. If you want to remove the group, check the box as the following and press Remove. Note: If you like to automatically add LAN clients to a WAN Interface in the new group add the DHCP vendor ID string. By configuring a DHCP vendor ID string any DHCP client request with the specified vendor ID (DHCP option 60) will be denied an IP address from the local DHCP server.
Wireless 5G(wl0) & 2.4G(Wl1) BiPAC 8920AX(L) is a simultaneous dual-band (2.4G and 5G) wireless router support 11b/g/n/a/ac wireless standards. It allows multiple wireless users in 2.4G and 5G radio bands to surf the Internet, checking e-mail, watching video, listening to music over the Internet concurrently. You can choose the optimum radio band wireless connection base on your environment.

Check the checkbox to determine whether you want to hide SSID.
but a different capability set – allowing access to be provided via Web Portal, WEP, and WPA simultaneously. Where APs are shared by multiple providers, Virtual APs provide each provider with separate authentication and accounting data for their users, as well as diagnostic information, without sharing sensitive management traffic or data between providers. You can enable the virtual AP. Here you can enable some Virtual APs according to the request.
Security Wireless security prevents unauthorized access or damage to computers using wireless network. Note： The WPS feature will also be unavailable when the security setting is not WPA2 or OPEN. So, if you manually set the wireless security setting, you should give notice to it, but you can find prompt indicating configuration.
