AG 5500
100 System Administration
4. Make a selection for Network Configuration Method . This determines how the AG 5500
receives its IP address to work on the network.
z
If the AG 5500 receives its IP address from a DHCP Server , select DHCP. Nothing
else needs to be configured.
z
If the AG 5500 receives a static IP address , enter the static IP address, Subnet Mask,
and Gateway in the Static Configuration Parameters box.
z
If the AG 5500 receives its IP address from a
PPPoE Server
, select the
Configure
PPPoE Client
link and enter the following parameters:
z PPPoE Service Name -
This is the Service-Name TAG. The maximum
allowed length is 31 characters.
z PPP Keep Alive
z
Echo Request Interval in seconds - Setting this to 0 will disable
echo requests from the NSE. The default value for this parameter is
30 seconds.
z
Maximum Missed Responses allowed - This is the number of
echo-requests that can be allowed to go without a response before
the NSE determines that the PPP link is down. This parameter can
only set to whole number above 0.
z PPP Authentication
z Username -
This is the username for PPP based authentication
required by your service provider.
z
Password - This is the password for PPP based authentication
required by your service provider. Max length for both username
and password is 128 characters.
z IP Configuration Mode -
This defines the IP address configuration mode for
the NSE. Setting this to Dynamic will obtain a dynamic IP address from PPPoE
server similar to DHCP client. Setting this to static will require manually
configuring IP address in the text box.
z Maximum TCP MSS -
Please note that this is the MSS not MTU. The
maximum value suggested by the RFC
is 1452.
5.
Enter a valid subscriber IP address in the
Subscriber IP Address
field.
The IP addresses from subscribers that are on a subnet different from the AG 5500 (for
example, misconfigured) are translated by Nomadix’ Dynamic Address Translation
(DAT) patented technology to the
Subscriber IP Address .
The subscriber interface acts as a multifunctional “translator.” For example, if a
subscriber’s computer is setup statically for a network with a gateway address of
10.1.1.1, the AG 5500 emulates the gateway to accommodate this subscriber
while emulating other gateways to accommodate other subscribers.
