LAN (Local) Profile Setup
The LAN Profile is the largest, most detailed portion of the Router software. The fields on this screen allow definition of how data transmission will occur on the unit’s LAN port. This includes defining the protocol(s) that it will use to send and receive data, defining security protocols, specifying which LAN servers and networks will be advertised to WAN units, and establishing specific data filtering options.
The LAN profile is used in conjunction with the WAN profiles. The WAN profiles identify which remote units the local unit can communicate with, as well as the data transmission requirements of each remote.
In addition to the fields on this screen, there are several other areas that directly relate to the communication abilities of the Adit unit. You may use the fields at the bottom of this screen to access the following areas:
Defining static addresses at the local unit Establishing static networks Establishing Remote (WAN) advertising
Establishing DHCP Server/BOOTP Relay Agent parameters Defining data filters
The Router can accommodate a maximum of 500 filters, such as those created when establishing static routes or data filters. The following entries consume a filter:
Configured address, custom and protocol filters Static IP networks and static IPX networks
Enabling any learned items listed on the Advertise Network/Server screen or Filter Network/Server screen
Static IP and MAC Addresses Firewall filters
In a large network, it is necessary to selectively use of each of these options so that the number of configured filters is within the maximum allowed.
The Local Profile is used to define the Local (LAN) port parameters for the unit at the present location.
