Configuring the 4300T

System Configuration

This section explains how to configure the 4300T to function in your IP network. You will configure the T1/E1 WAN interface, Ethernet interfaces, network addresses, DNS settings, default gateway, SNMP settings and change the administrative password.

1.Physically connect to the 4300T as described in Administration of the 4300T on page 2-2.

A browser-based configuration GUI should appear, as shown here.

2.Select the Network entry in the Configuration Menu.

Configure the LAN Interface

The 4300T provides an integrated 4 port 10/100 Mbps ethernet switch that can be optionally configured to support 802.1q VLANs. Integrated VLAN support simplifies the integration of the 4300T with existing VLAN-based networks.

The 4300T is able to receive 802.1q-tagged packets from a downstream VLAN switch and appropriately route and process them per its firewall rules. Packets received from the WAN are placed in the appropriate VLAN based on IP address routing.

By default VLANs are not enabled and a single IP address is used for all 4 ethernet ports. The configuration of this address is as follows:

1.Enter the IP Address.

2.Enter the Subnet Mask (e.g. 255.255.255.0).
