Link Aggregation
(N7700 only)
Specifies whether WAN and LAN ports will be aggregated and act as one port.
Failover: When one port fails, the other one will take over.
Load Balance: Ethernet traffic will flow alternative between two Ethernet ports.
802.3ad: Linkage two Ethernet ports in parallel to increase throughput.
NOTE
•Only use Jumbo Frame settings when operating in a Gigabit environment where all other clients have Jumbo Frame Setting enabled.
•Enabling DHCP automatically turns on
•If you are only using the WAN port, we suggest that you disable IP Sharing Mode. This will result in higher throughput.
•A correct DNS setting is vital to networks services, such as SMTP and NTP.
•To use the Link Aggregation with “802.3ad selected” feature, please make sure the networking equipment on the other end of Ethernet cable also supports 802.3ad protocol.
WARNING
LAN Configuration
Most Fast Ethernet (10/100) Switches/Routers do not support Jumbo Frame and you will not be able to connect to your N7700 after Jumbo Frame is turned on. If this happens, turn off the N7700. Then, power on the N7700 and immediately press and hold the Reset button on the back of the unit for 10 seconds. This will reset your network settings, password, and turn off Jumbo Frame Support.
The N7700 supports two Gigabit Ethernet ports for higher service availability. To configure these ports, choose LAN from the Network menu, and the LAN Configuration screen appears. Press Apply to save your changes.
LAN Configuration
Item | Description |
MAC Address | Displays the MAC address of the LAN interface. |
IP | Specifies the IP address of the LAN interface. |
Netmask | Specifies the Network Mask of the LAN interface. |
Jumbo Frame Support | Enable or disable Jumbo Frame Support on the LAN interface. |
NOTE
Before enabling Jumbo Frame Support, please make sure your network equipment supports Jumbo Frame. If your equipment is incompatible, you might not be able to connect to your N7700. In this case, you have to reset the system back to default by the holding down front panel reset button for 5 seconds during boot up process.
