•
Public Port
The TCP/UDP port of the AirRouter HP
which will accept and forward the connections from the
external network to the host connected to the internal
network.
•
Comment
Enter a brief description of the port
forwarding functionality such as FTP server, Web server,
or game server.
•
Enabled
Enables or disables the effect of the particular
port forwarding entry. All the added firewall entries are
saved in the system configuration file, however only
the enabled port forwarding entries are used on the
AirRouter HP.
Save your port forwarding entries by clicking Save or
discard your changes by clicking Cancel.
Router > LAN Network Settings
LAN IP Address
This is the IP address to be represented
by the LAN or WLAN interface which is connected to the
external network according to the wireless operation
mode described previously. This IP address can be used for
routing and device management purposes.
The external network interface can be set for static IP or
can be set to obtain an IP address from the DHCP server
which should reside in the external network. One of the
IP assignment modes must be selected for the external
network interface:
•
DHCP
Choose this option to obtain the IP address,
Gateway and DNS address dynamically from the
external DHCP server.
•
PPPoE
Choose this option to obtain the IP address,
Gateway and DNS address dynamically from the
external PPPoE server.
•
Static
Choose this option to assign the static IP settings
for the external interface.
DHCP
DHCP Fallback IP
If the AirRouter HP is set to Dynamic
IP Address mode (DHCP) and is unable to obtain an IP
address from a valid DHCP server, it will fall back to the
static IP address listed here.
DHCP Fallback Netmask
If the AirRouter HP is set to
Dynamic IP Address mode (DHCP) and unable to obtain an
IP address from a valid DHCP server, it will fall back to the
static Netmask listed here.
MTU
Defines the size (in bytes) of the largest protocol
data unit the layer can pass on. When using slow links,
large packets can cause some delays thereby increasing
lag and latency.
Enable DMZ
The Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) can be
enabled and used so that services such as Web Servers,
Proxy Servers, and E-mail Servers can still serve the local
network and are at the same time isolated from it for
additional security. DMZ is commonly used with NAT
functionality as an alternative to Port Forwarding but DMZ
opens all ports of the host network device to the external
network.
•
DMZ Management Port
Web Management Port for the
AirRouter HP (TCP/IP port 80 by default) will be used for
the host device if the DMZ Management Port option is
enabled.
•
DMZ IP
Enter the IP address of the internal network
device and the device will be completely exposed to the
external network.
Auto IP Aliasing
Automatically generates an IP Address
for the corresponding WLAN/LAN interface if enabled.
The generated IP address is a unique Class B IP address
from the 169.254.X.Y range (Netmask 255.255.0.0) which is
intended for use within the same network segment only.
Auto IP always starts with 169.254.X.Y while X and Y are
last 2 digits from the MAC address of the device (i.e. if the
MAC is 00:15:6D:A3:04:FB, Generated unique Auto IP will
be 169.254.4.251).
IP Aliases
IP aliases for the internal and external network
interface can be configured. IP Aliases can be specified
using the IP Aliases configuration window which is opened
when you click Configure.
•
IP
The alternative IP address for the LAN or WLAN
interface, which can be used for the routing or device
management purposes.
•
Netmask
The network address space identifier for the
particular IP Alias.
•
Comment
Field used for a brief description of the
purpose of the alias.
