IpoA Configuration

The IPoA table contains a row for each EOA interface currently defined on the device. The table may initially contain no entries.

 

Figure 13. IPoA Configuration

The IPoA Configuration table displays the following fields:

 

 

IPoA Interface

The IPoA interface you are configuring.

Conf. IP Address

The IP address you want to assign to the interface.

 

The type of Firewall protections that are in effect on the interface.

 

A public interface connects to the Internet (PPP interfaces are typically

 

public). Packets received on a public interface are subject to the most

 

restrictive set of firewall protections defined in the software.

Interface Sec Type

A private interface connects to your LAN, such as the Ethernet interface.

Packets received on a private interface are subject to a less restrictive set

 

 

of protections, because they originate within the network.

 

The term DMZ (de-militarized zone), in Internet networking terms, refers to

 

computers that are available for both public and in-network accesses (such

 

as a company's public Web server).

 

 

Netmask

The netmask you want to assign to the interface.

 

Specifies whether the IPoA protocol to be used complies with the IEFT

RFC 1577

specification named "RFC 1577 - Classical IP and ARP over ATM"

 

(contact your ISP if unsure).

 

This indicates whether the Router should use the IP address assigned to

Default Route

this connection as its default route. It is Enabled by default and can be

 

Disabled by selecting the appropriate option.

Gateway IP Address

The external IP address that the Router communicates with via the IPoA

interface to gain access to the Internet. This is typically an ISP server.
