Getting To Know Your VDSL Router/Bridge 1-3
PPPoE Support (RFC2516)
PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet) emulates a dial-up connection. It allows your ISP to
use their existing network configuration with newer broadband technologies such as VDSL. The
PPPoE driver on the Prestige is transparent to the computers on the LAN, which see only Ethernet and
are not aware of PPPoE thus saving you from having to manage PPPoE clients on individual
computers.
Other PPPoE Features
♦
PPPoE idle time out
♦
PPPoE Dial on Demand
Network Address Translation (NAT)
Network Address Translation (NAT) allows the translation of an Internet protocol address used within
one network (for example a private IP address used in a local network) to a different IP address known
within another network (for example a public IP address used on the Internet).
Dynamic DNS Support
With Dynamic DNS support, you can have a static hostname alias for a dynamic IP address, allowing
the host to be more easily accessible from various locations on the Internet. You must register for this
service with a Dynamic DNS service provider.
Multiple PVC (Permanent Virtual Circuits) Support
Your Prestige supports up to 10 PVCs including UBR, CBR and VBR.
DHCP Support
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) allows the individual clients (computers) to obtain the
TCP/IP configuration at start-up from a centralized DHCP server. The Prestige has built-in DHCP
server capability enabled by default. It can assign IP addresses, an IP default gateway and DNS servers
to DHCP clients. The Prestige can now also act as a surrogate DHCP server (DHCP Relay) where it
relays IP address assignment from the actual real DHCP server to the clients.
Protocol Support
IP Alias
IP Alias allows you to partition a physical network into logical networks over the same Ethernet
interface. The Prestige supports three logical LAN interfaces via its single physical Ethernet interface
with the Prestige itself as the gateway for each LAN network.
IP Policy Routing (IPPR)
Traditionally, routing is based on the destination address only and the router takes the shortest path to
forward a packet. IP Policy Routing (IPPR) provides a mechanism to override the default routing
behavior and alter the packet forwarding based on the policy defined by the network administrator.
PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) link layer protocol.
RIP I/RIP II
IGMP Proxy
ICMP support
