DSL-302G ADSL Modem User’s Guide
EOA Configuration
The EoA Configuration table displays the following fields:
EoA Interface
The EoA interface you are configuring.
Interface Sec Type
The type of Firewall protections that are in effect on the interface.
A
public
interface connects to the Internet (PPP interfaces are typically
public). Packets received on a public interface are subject to the most
restrictive set of firewall protections defined in the software.
A
private
interface connects to your LAN, such as the Ethernet interface.
Packets received on a private interface are subject to a less restrictive set
of protections, because they originate within the network.
The term
DMZ
(de-militarized zone), in Internet networking terms, refers to
computers that are available for both public and in-network accesses
(such as a company's public Web server).
Lower Interface
The name of the lower-level interfaces on which EoA interface will operate.
The low-level interface names are pre-configured in the software and
identify the type of traffic that can be supported, such as data or voice.
Internet data services typically use an AAL5-type interface.
If you are adding a new VCC Interface, choose the AAL5 set you want to
define from the pull-down menu (Add menu only).
Conf. IP Address
The IP address you want to assign to the interface.
Netmask
The netmask you want to assign to the interface.
Use DHCP
When set to
Enable
, the device will acquire additional IP information from
the ISP's DHCP server. The PPP connection itself acquires the device's IP
address, mask, DNS address, and default gateway address.
Default Route
Indicates whether the Modem should use the IP address assigned to this
connection as its default route.
Gateway IP Address
The external IP address that the Modem communicates with via the EoA
interface to gain access to the Internet. This is typically an ISP server.
To define EOA settings for a new virtual connection, click the Add button. To modify an existing EOA setting,
click the pencil icon (
) for that set. When you choose to add a new set or modify an existing set, a new menu
appears (see below). To delete an existing AAL5 setting, click the trashcan ( ) for that set.
