7.3.2 CAT6/7/15
To configure the
WAN Settings
on a CAT6/7/15 CPE (Figure 30, Figure 31, and Table 5):
1.
Select one of the following for the
Operation Mode
:
•
NAT - Allows multiple hosts on a private network to access the Internet using a single public
IP address. When
NAT
is selected, all eight Access Point Name (APN) gateways can be
configured for either
Default Router, Data, Mgmt
,
Voip,
or
Reserve
.
•
Router - The CPE will dynamically update the router tables.
•
Tunnel - The CPE will support Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP) or Generic Routing
Encapsulation (GRE) VPN mode. You can set the
Default Route
to
VPN
or
WAN
.
•
Bridge - The WAN port addresses will bridge to the LAN port; the LAN port will work in
trunking mode.
•
Mixed Mode - Each Access Point Name, or external gateway, can be configured with a
different mode, either
NAT
or
Bridge
, and a different bearer type.
Figure 31 shows how the settings will appear for each operation mode.
2.
In the
Profile List
you will see up to eight APNs. You must have at least one APN configured for
the CPE TR-069 connection to the Baicells CloudCore, Local OMC (Operations Management
Console), or other Network Management System (NMS). Therefore,
APN1
is the default router
Bear Type
. When using more than one APN, for example if you have a different route and Quality
of Service (QoS) or other treatment for voice traffic than for data, you can edit the
Bear Type
by
selecting the radio button under
Edit
and in
Profile Setting
choose the
Bear Type
.
3.
For
DNS Mode
, you can select either
Automatic
or
Manually
. The DNS server translates domain
names such as
www.na.baicells.com
into their underlying IP addresses. The service provider may
use DNS servers to cache domain names frequented by its users, so the sites load more quickly
in a browser.
If you select
Automatic
, the CPE will check the first available DNS in the network to resolve the
domain name to IP address translation. If you select
Manually
, specify a
Primary
DNS
IP address
and a
Secondary
DNS
IP address.
