■
Address Translation Enabled
allows you to specify whether or not the router per forms Network Address
Translation (NAT) on the Ethernet WAN por t. NAT is enabled by default.
■
Local WAN IP Address
allows you to manually configure an IP address for use on the Ethernet WAN por t.
The value 0.0.0.0 indicates that the device will act as a DHCP client on the Ethernet WAN por t and attempt
to acquire an address from a DHCP ser ver. By default, the router acts as a DHCP client on the Ethernet
WAN por t.
■
Local WAN IP Mask
allows you to manually configure an IP subnet mask for use on the Ethernet WAN por t.
This item is visible only if you have configured a non-zero Ethernet IP Address; other wise, the router obtains
a subnet mask via DHCP.
■
The
Filter Set
pop-up allows you to associate an IP filter set with the Ethernet WAN por t. See
“About filters
and filter sets” on page 13-126
.
■
Remove Filter Set
allows you to remove a previously associated filter set.
■
The
Receive RIP
pop-up controls the reception and transmission of Routing Information Protocol (RIP)
packets on the Ethernet WAN por t. The default is Both. The Transmit RIP pop-up is hidden if NAT is
enabled.
Routing Information Protocol (RIP) is needed if there are IP routers on other segments of your Ethernet
network that the Netopia R910 needs to recognize. Set to “Both” (the default) the Netopia R910 will
accept information from either RIP v1 or v2 routers. Alternatively, select
Receive RIP
and select
v1
or
v2
from the popup menu. With Receive RIP set to “v1,” the Netopia R910’s Ethernet por t will accept routing
information provided by RIP packets from other routers that use the same subnet mask. Set to “v2,” the
Netopia R910 will accept routing information provided by RIP packets from other routers that use different
subnet masks.
If you want the Netopia R910 to adver tise its routing table to other routers via RIP, select
Transmit RIP
and
select
v1
,
v2 (broadcast)
, or
v2 (multicast)
from the popup menu. With Transmit RIP v1 selected, the
Netopia R910 will generate RIP packets only to other RIP v1 routers. With Transmit RIP v2 (broadcast)
selected, the Netopia R910 will generate RIP packets to all other hosts on the network. With Transmit RIP
v2 (multicast) selected, the Netopia R910 will generate RIP packets only to other routers capable of
recognizing RIP v2 packets.
System configuration screens
You can connect to the Netopia R910’s system configuration screens in either of two ways:
■
By using Telnet with the Router’s Ethernet por t IP address
■
Through the console por t, using a local terminal (see
“Connecting a console cable to your router” on
page 6-33
)
You can also retrieve the Netopia R910’s configuration information and remotely set its parameters using the
Simple Network Management Protocol (see
“SNMP” on page 12-118
).
Open a Telnet connection to the router’s IP address; for example, “192.168.1.1.”
