WAN Ethernet Configuration

The WAN Ethernet Configuration screen is where you configure the parameters that control the Netopia R9100’s connection to a specific remote destination, usually your ISP or a corporate site.

1.To enable address translation, toggle Address Translation Enabled to Yes (the default). For more information on Network Address Translation, see Chapter 9, “IP Setup and Network Address Translation,” on page 9-1.

Address Translation Enabled allows you to specify whether or not the router performs Network Address Translation (NAT) on the Ethernet WAN port. NAT is enabled by default.

2.To manually configure an IP address for use on the Ethernet WAN port, select Local WAN IP Address and enter the IP address you want to use.

Otherwise, accept the default value 0.0.0.0. If you accept the default, the Netopia R9100 Ethernet Router will act as a DHCP client on the Ethernet WAN port and attempt to acquire an address from a DHCP server. By default, the router acts as a DHCP client on the Ethernet WAN port and obtains its IP address and subnet mask from the DHCP server.

3.A new field Local WAN IP Mask (not shown) becomes visible only if you have configured a non-zero Ethernet IP address. If you have configured a non-zero Ethernet IP address, enter an appropriate subnet mask.

4.Select NEXT SCREEN and press Return. The IP Easy Setup screen appears.
