Enable NAT checkbox:
If the LAN is configured with a private IP address, the

features after the system comes up. If a private IP address is not used on the
LAN side (i.e. the LAN side is using a public IP), this checkbox should be de-
selected. When the system comes back after reboot, the NAT submenu will not
be displayed on the left main menu. The default setting for MER is disabled.
Enable Firewall checkbox:
If the firewall checkbox is selected, the security
submenu will be displayed on the advanced setup menu after reboot. The user
can then configure firewall features after the system comes up. If firewall is not
used, this checkbox should be de-selected to free up system resources for better
performance. When system comes back after reboot, the Security submenu will
not be displayed on the left main menu. The default setting for MER is disabled.
