VPI

This option is available if you select Router in the Mode field.

 

The valid range for the VPI is 0 to 255. Enter the VPI assigned to you.

 

 

VCI

This option is available if you select Router in the Mode field.

 

The valid range for the VCI is 32 to 65535 (0 to 31 is reserved for local management

 

of ATM traffic). Enter the VCI assigned to you.

 

 

IP Address

 

 

 

Obtain an IP Address

This option is available if you select Router in the Mode field.

Automatically

A static IP address is a fixed IP that your ISP gives you. A dynamic IP address is not

 

Static IP Address

fixed; the ISP assigns you a different one each time you connect to the Internet.

 

Select Obtain an IP Address Automatically if you have a dynamic IP address;

 

otherwise select Static IP Address and type your ISP assigned IP address in the IP

 

Address field and a gateway IP address (supplied by your ISP) below.

 

 

Routing Feature

 

 

 

Apply as Default

Select this option to have the AMG1312-T Series use the WAN interface of this

Gateway

connection as the system default gateway.

 

 

DNS Server - This section is not available when you select Bridge in the Mode field.

 

 

Primary DNS

Select Obtained from ISP to have the AMG1312-T Series get the DNS server

Server

addresses from the ISP automatically.

Secondary DNS

Select UserDefined and enter the DNS server address assigned by the ISP.

Server

 

 

Select None to not configure a DNS server. You must know the IP address of

 

amachine in order to access it.

 

 

IPv6 Address

 

 

 

Obtain an IP Address

Select this option if you want to have the AMG1312-T Series use the IPv6 prefix from

Automatically

the connected router’s Router Advertisement (RA) to generate an IPv6 address.

 

 

DHCP IPv6

Select DHCP if you want to obtain an IPv6 address from a DHCPv6 server.

 

The IP address assigned by a DHCPv6 server has priority over the IP address

 

automatically generated by the AMG1312-T Series using the IPv6 prefix from an RA.

 

Select SLAAC (Stateless address autoconfiguration) to have the AMG1312-T Series

 

use the prefix to automatically generate a unique IP address that does not need to be

 

maintained by a DHCP server.

 

Select Auto to have the AMG1312-T Series indicate to hosts for IPv6 address

 

generation depending on the M/O (Managed/Other) flag values in the router

 

advertisements sending to hosts.

 

• If M flag is 1, the AMG1312-T Series will indicate to hosts to obtain network

 

settings (such as WAN IP, LAN prefix and DNS settings) through DHCPv6.

 

• If M flag is 0, the AMG1312-T Series will check O flag.

 

• If O flag is 1, the AMG1312-T Series will indicate to hosts to obtain DNS

 

information and LAN prefix through DHCPv6.

 

• If O flag is 0, the AMG1312-T Series will not get information through DHCPv6.

 

 

DHCP PD

Select Enable to use DHCP PD (Prefix Delegation) to allow the AMG1312-T Series to

 

pass the IPv6 prefix information to its LAN hosts. The hosts can then use the prefix to

 

generate their IPv6 addresses.

 

 

WAN Identifier Type

Select Manual to manually enter a WAN Identifier as the interface ID to identify the

 

WAN interface. The WAN Identifier is appended to the IPv6 address prefix to create

 

the routable global IPv6 address. Select EUI64 to use the EUI-64 format to generate

 

an interface ID from the MAC address of the WAN interface.
