Configuring WAN Settings
This chapter describes how to configure WAN settings for the WAN interface on the RX3041H that
communicates with your ISP. You’ll learn to configure IP address, DHCP and DNS server for your WAN in this
chapter.
6.1 WAN
Connection
Mode
Three modes of WAN connection are supported by the RX3041H – PPPoE, dynamic IP and static IP. The
configuration of each connection mode is described in the details in the following sections.
6.2 PPPoE
6.2.1
WAN PPPoE Configuration Parameters
Table 6.1describes the configuration parameters available for WAN PPPoE connection mode.

Setting
Description
Channel ID
Select the PPPoE channel for this PPPoE session. Note that only two
simultaneous PPPoE channels are supported.
Default Gateway
Since more than one PPPoE session may be active at the same time, a
default gateway must be chosen to route packets addressed to networks not
explicitly listed in the routing table. Select from the drop down list the interface
to be used as the default gateway.
Unnumbered PPPoE
Click on the “Enable” or “Disable” radio button to enable or disable this option.
Traditionally, each network interface must have a unique IP address.
However, an unnumbered interface does not have to have a unique IP
address. This means that when this option is enabled, the WAN and the LAN
use the same IP address. Network resources are therefore conserved
because fewer network IP addresses are used and routing table is smaller.
Host Name
Enter the host name provided by your ISP. Host name is optional but may be
required by some ISP.
User Name and
Password
Enter the username and password you use to log into your ISP. (Note: this is
different from the information you used to log into Configuration Manager.)
Service Name
Enter the service name provided by your ISP. Service name is optional but
may be required by some ISP.
Access Concentrator
Name
Enter the access concentrator name provided by your ISP. Access
concentrator name is optional but may be required by some ISP.
