Chapter 1 Getting to know your BCM50a Integrated Router
N0115791
Traffic Redirect
Traffic Redirect forwards WAN traffic to a backup gateway when the BCM50a
Integrated Router cannot connect to the Internet, thus acting as an auxiliary
backup when your regular WAN connection fails.
Port Forwarding
Use this feature to forward incoming service requests to a server on your local
network. You can enter a single port number or a range of port numbers to be
forwarded, and the local IP address of the desired server.
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)
With DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol), individual client computers
can obtain the TCP/IP configuration at start-up from a centralized DHCP server.
The BCM50a Integrated Router has built in DHCP server capability, enabled by
default, which means it can assign IP addresses, an IP default gateway, and DNS
servers to all systems that support the DHCP client. The BCM50a Integrated
Router can also act as a surrogate DHCP server, where it relays IP address
assignment from another DHCP server to the clients.
Full network management
The embedded web configurator is an all platform, web based utility that you can
use to easily manage and configure the BCM50a Integrated Router. Most
functions of the BCM50a Integrated Router are also software configurable
through the SMT (System Management Terminal) interface. The SMT is a menu
driven interface that you can access over a Telnet connection.
Logging and tracing
The BCM50a Integrated Router supports the following logging and tracing
functions to help with management:
•
Built in message logging and packet tracing
•
Unix syslog facility support
