Get automatically

Select this option If your ISP did not assign you a fixed IP address. This is the default

 

 

from ISP

selection.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Use fixed IP

Select this option If the ISP assigned a fixed IP address.

My WAN IP

Enter the ZyAIR WAN IP address in this field if you selected Use Fixed IP Address.

My WAN IP

Enter the ZyAIR WAN IP subnet mask (if your ISP gave you one) in this field if you

Remote IP

Type the IP address of the remote network or gateway. The gateway is an immediate

 

 

Address (or

neighbor of your ZyAIR that will forward the packet to the destination. On the LAN,

 

 

Gateway IP

the gateway must be a router on the same segment as your ZyAIR; over the WAN,

 

 

Address)

the gateway must be the IP address of one of the remote nodes.

 

 

Remote IP Subnet

When using a LAN to LAN application, type the IP subnet mask of the destination

 

 

Mask (PPPoE

network. If you need to specify a route to a single host, use a subnet mask of

 

 

and PPTP

255.255.255.255, in the subnet mask field, to force the network number to be

 

 

encapsulation)

identical to the host ID.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Network Address

Network Address Translation (NAT) allows the translation of an Internet protocol

 

 

Translation

address used within one network to a different IP address known within another

 

 

 

network.

 

 

 

SUA (Single User Account) is a subset of NAT that supports two types of mapping:

 

 

 

Many-to-Oneand Server. When you select this option the ZyAIR will use Address

 

 

 

Mapping Set 255 in the SMT.

 

 

 

Choose SUA Only if you have just one public WAN IP address for your ZyAIR.

 

 

 

Choose Full Feature if you have multiple public WAN IP addresses for your ZyAIR.

 

 

 

For more information about NAT refer to the NAT chapter in this User's Guide.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Metric (PPPoE

Type a number that approximates the cost for this link. Metric represents the "cost" of

 

 

and PPTP only)

transmission for routing purposes. IP routing uses hop count as the measurement of

 

 

 

cost, with a minimum of 1 for directly connected networks. The number need not be

 

 

 

precise, but it must be between 1 and 15. In practice, 2 or 3 is usually a good

 

 

 

number.
