CRADLEPOINT CBA750 USER MANUAL Firmware ver. 1.9.0

4.2 IP Pass-Thru

IP Passthru allows a client connected to the private network to be configured automatically with the public IP address acquired from the ISP. The configuration is done by passing the client a DHCP lease with the public IP address when the WAN becomes connected. If there is more than one client connected to the private LAN, the user can bind the MAC address of a particular client to IP Passthru in order to ensure that client always receives the correct DHCP lease. Otherwise, the IP Passthru will pick the first device connected to the LAN to use IP Passthru.

4.2.1IP Passthru Mode

This setting is the default setting, and should work in most cases. However, if there is more than one client connected to the private network, then selecting Bind MAC Manually will configure the router to only allow one particular client.

Client MAC Address. If you would like IP Passthru to be restricted to a particular client, enable this option and enter the client‟s MAC address into the association field. The router will grab the MAC address of the client connected to it during configuration. If this isn't the right address, enter the MAC of the correct device.

Ignore Switch Position. The CBA750 has a Configuration Switch on the outside of the router that can be set to Passthru Mode or Configuration Mode. Selecting Ignore Switch Position disables this switch so that you control this setting through the administration pages only. If you select Ignore Switch Position, you must then also choose either:
