Allied Telesis AT-AR256E manual New Connection, Bridged Gateway Profile and Connection

Page 11

Since multiple users can use the ADSL router, the ADSL router can simultaneously support multiple connection types; hence, the user must set up different profiles for each connection. The ADSL router supports the following protocols:

DHCP

RFC2364 / PPPoA

RFC2516 / PPPoE

Static

Bridged

RFC1577 / CLIP

.

4.4.1 New Connection

A new connection is basically a virtual connection. The ADSL router can support up to 8 different (unique) virtual connections. If you have multiple different virtual connections, you may need to utilise the static and dynamic routing capabilities of the modem to pass data correctly.

4.4.1.1 Bridged Gateway Profile and Connection

A pure bridged connection does not assign a IP address to the WAN interface. NAT and firewall rules are not enabled. This connection method makes the ADSL router act as a hub, and just passes packets across the WAN interface to the LAN interface.

To configure the ADSL router as a bridge, click on Setup and then click on New Connection. The default PPPoE connection setup is displayed. At the Type field select Bridge and the Bridge connection setup page is displayed (see Figure 4). Give your Bridge connection a unique name; the name must not have spaces and cannot begin with numbers. In this case the unique name is called Bridge. Select the encapsulation type (LLC or VC); if you are not sure, just use the default mode. Select the VPI and VCI settings; your ADSL Provider or ISP will supply these; in this case, the ADSL Provider is using 0,100. Also select the Quality of Service (QoS); leave the default value if you are unsure or the ISP did not provide this information.
