Setting Up a Public Routed Subinterface
The Public Routed Subinterface pane allows you to create a local network that has broadband network- accessible IP addresses by creating a route from the Internet to the specified public network. The public network operates without Network Address Translation (NAT). This feature is typically used in conjunction with broadband service that provides a range of available IP addresses. Once enabled, the public IP addresses can be assigned to local computers.
To set up a Public Routed Subinterface network:
1.Check the Enable checkbox.
2.In the Router Address field, enter the router address (this is typically provided by your service provider).
3.In the Subnet Mask field, enter the subnet mask (this is typically provided by your service provider).
4.(Optional) To open all firewall ports, check the Auto Firewall Open checkbox. (By default, your firewall protection is enabled.)
5.Click SAVE.
