NB3710 User Manual 4.0
Parameter LAN IP Settings
Subnet mask The subnet mask for this interface
Alias IP address The alias IP interface address
Alias subnet mask The alias subnet mask for this interface
When running in WAN mode, the interface may be configured with the following settings:
Parameter WAN IP Settings
WAN mode The WAN operation mode, defines whether the interface
should run as DHCP client, statically configured or over
PPPoE.
MTU The Maximum Transmission Unit for the interface, if pro-
vided it will specify the largest size of a packet transmitted
on the interface.
When running as DHCP client, no further configuration is required because all IP-related
settings (address, subnet, gateway, DNS server) will be retrieved from a DHCP server
in the network. You may also define static values but caution has to be taken to assign
an unique IP address as it would otherwise raise IP conflicts in the network.
PPPoE is commonly used when communicating with another WAN access device (like
a DSL modem). The following settings can be applied:
Parameter PPPoE Configuration
User name PPPoE user name for authenticating at the access device
Password PPPoE password for authenticating at the access device
Service name Specifies the service name set of the access concentrator and
can be left blank unless you have multiple services on the
same physical network and need to specify the one you want
to connect to.
Access concentrator
name
The name of the concentrator (the PPPoE client will con-
nect to any access concentrator if left blank)
