RFC 1483 MAC Encapsulated Routing (MER)

If you selected RFC 1483 MAC Encapsulated Routing from the Wan Interface page, the RFC 1483 MER Networking page is displayed when you click Next.

To configure RFC 1483 MER Networking:

1.Select one or more of the following RFC 1483 MER Networking options:

•Bridging Enabled:

Forward all traffic for remote hosts that is not routed to the WAN (non-IP). If bridging is enabled, you can optionally select Only bridge PPPoE traffic. If selected, only PPPoE traffic is bridged; all other traffic is stopped.

•IP Routing Enabled:

Routes all IP packets for remote hosts to the WAN. If IP Routing is enabled, you must specify how to obtain an IP address and subnet mask. This can be one of the following:

–Obtain configuration automatically from Wan using DHCP to have an IP address assigned automatically using DHCP.

–Configure IP Routing manually to assign IP addresses manually. If you select this option, you must specify an IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway in the appropriate fields. Default Gateway assigns the IP address of the next-hop route.

2.If you enabled IP routing, optionally select one or more of the following:

•NAT Enabled:

Network Address Translation (NAT) allows multiple workstations on your LAN to share a single, public IP address. All outgoing traffic appears to originate from the router’s IP address.

•Block Net BIOS Traffic:

NetBIOS is a PC networking protocol that can keep network connections open inadvertently. To avoid excess connection charges, such traffic should be blocked on any metered network service.

3.Click Next. This displays the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol page.
