Configuring Network Settings

RFC2684

The SpeedStream Router supports two basic types of connections: Point-to-Point (PPP) and RFC2684.

By default, RFC2684 connections rely on a server located on the Wide Area Network (WAN) to supply the Router a dynamic IP address and other IP-based configuration parameters for the Router’s WAN-side interface. To accomplish this, the Router executes a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) client associated with the WAN-side connection. This client, in turn, communicates with the DHCP server located on the WAN.

Under some circumstances, this automated procedure may not be desirable or even possible. In such situations, you will need to disable the DHCP client on the router and manually define the required IP configuration parameters, as supplied by your service provider.

To configure RFC2684 functionality:

1.Select Setup>RFC2684 from the left navigation pane of the Web interface. This displays the “RFC2684 Configuration” window.

2.Select the connection you want to configure from the Connection drop-down menu.

3.Select one of the following from DHCP:

Enabled

Enables the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol for the selected connection.

Disable

Disables the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol for the selected connection.

4.In IP Address, enter the IP address to be used for the WAN-side of the Router, normally obtained from a DHCP server located on the WAN.

5.In IP Netmask, enter the netmask corresponding to IP Address.

6.In Default Gateway, optionally enter the IP address of a router located on the WAN to be used as the "gateway" to the WAN.

7.In DNS Server, optionally enter the IP address of a DNS server located on the WAN to be used to resolve domain name/IP addresses.

8.Click Save.
